I wish to note that No. 2, motion pursuant to section 23 of the Referendum Act 1994 (No. 12 of 1994), in regard to the proposal to amend the Constitution which is contained in the Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018, will be debated in conjunction with Second Stage of the Bill but will not be moved until Fifth Stage is concluded.

Before we begin Second Stage of the Bill, I point out that the group spokespersons of each group have ten minutes and all others have eight minutes. Because I understand many Members want to speak, I will be strict on the time limits so it does not drag on.

On a point of information, will there be a vote at the end of Second Stage?

I cannot comment as that is a matter for the House.

The Cathaoirleach put several things together when he read out that list.

If the House wants to divide on Second Stage, obviously, it can do so.

I can assure you it will divide.

I cannot comment. I am only the referee. I ask the House to return to decorum as this is a very important issue. I call the Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris.
