I welcome the Minister to the House and thank him for being here. It is the first time for him to bring a Finance Bill to the Seanad. So a céad míle fáilte and I thank him for that.

The Minister has ten minutes to make his opening remarks, group spokespersons have 12 minutes, all other Senators have five minutes, and the Minister will be called to reply no later than 6.20 p.m. and given no less than ten minutes to reply to the debate.
