Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators O'Sullivan, Clifford-Lee, Conway and Conway-Walsh and they will be taken now.I regret that I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Gallagher on the ground that the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter. I regret that I also had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Davitt on the grounds that it is a repeat of a Commencement matter raised on 28 May 2019. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters that they wish to raise.
