With the permission of the Cathaoirleach, I wish to propose an amendment to the Order of Business. Given the interest in this issue, I propose that we adjourn at 1 p.m. and roll this item over until another date, to be agreed with Senator Cummins, who moved that the Bill be read a Second Time. I am mindful that many colleagues wish to speak in this debate.

Is it possible to extend the debate for a few minutes? Only a few more people wish to speak.

The number of speakers left to contribute at this point and the Minister of State's wrap up time of ten minutes mean that at least 30 or 40 minutes would have to be added to the debate.

We would be finished by 1.30 p.m.
