No. 3 is the Sick Leave Bill 2022, Report and Final Stages. Before I call the Leader, I welcome to the Public Gallery Councillor Damien O'Reilly and Councillor Robert McDermott, his daughter, Ms Ellen McDermott, and brother, Mr. Andrew McDermott, and Andrew's daughter. You are all very welcome to Leinster House. I hope you have a lovely day here.

I also welcome another group, Mr. Gavin McGowan, Ms Susan Meehan and Mr. Liam McBride, who are visiting Leinster House from Donegal. You are all very welcome. I hope you enjoy your day in Leinster House.

I call the Leader to announce a small change to the business.

I propose, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that the sitting be suspended until 3.05 p.m. when the Minister of State, Deputy English, will be able to come to the House.

As the Minister of State has been delayed by a vote in the Dáil, it is proposed to suspend until 3.05 p.m. Is that agreed? Agreed.
