I thank the Leader. I welcome the guests of Deputy Kehoe: the Lacey family from Breen, Enniscorthy - Liam, Ita, Liam Jnr., Eva and Chloe. I thank them for being here and hope they will enjoy their visit.

I welcome the guests of Senator Craughwell, who have come from the United States of America. I thank them for being here.

Senator Craughwell has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That proceedings on the Report and Final Stages of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024 be brought to a conclusion at 5.45 p.m." It has been seconded by Senator Keogan. Is the amendment being pressed?
