I do not oppose the first motion but I wish to raise a point of order on it.

The first motion deals with each group leader. I seek clarity in terms of how many groups exist in the Seanad. I understand five Members are required to form a group. Is that correct?

Is it five Members per group?

There are four groups.

Will you name the groups, a Chathaoirleach, and indicate under which standing order the number required for a group is defined?

We will discuss that matter later with the Senator. We have discussed motion No. 1 and we are on motion No. 2. I call on the Leader to move the motion.
