I call on Senator Conway-Walsh, or one of her co-signatories, Senators Gavan or Mac Lochlainn, to deal with No. 14, seeking leave to introduce the National Assets Management Agency (Amendment) Bill. However, I note that they are not present.

I could move it in their stead, with agreement.

Standing Orders do not allow that. My hands are tied. The Senator is not a sponsor of the Bill. Sinn Féin will be free to move it tomorrow.

On a point of order, perhaps the Clerk could clarify to the Leas-Chathaoirleach whether it is possible to postpone No. 14 to be taken at a later stage this afternoon.

It was not proposed on the Order of Business.

Can we propose it now?

The Order of Business is agreed. Our hands are tied. I ask Sinn Féin Senators to move the Bill tomorrow. That is the best option.

It will be tomorrow.
