I wish to amend the Order of Business further, that No. 2, Broadcasting Bill 2008 — Report and Final Stages, be resumed at 4.30 p.m. after the conclusion of No. 4, Legal Practitioners (Irish Language) Bill 2007 — Committee and Remaining Stages, to conclude all Stages by 5 p.m.
Joe O'Toole (Independent)

No. We cannot agree to conclude all Stages by 5 p.m. if we are not finished dealing with matters. Six or seven Senators wish to speak. I am quite happy to resume at 4.30 p.m.
Dan Boyle (Green Party)

This amendment is being made on the basis that we have been making good progress, but I will agree if necessary to suspend the debate at 5 p.m. There will not be much time when it resumes at 7 p.m., however.
