Before I ask the Leader to deal with the Order of Business I remind Members, at the request of Senator O'Loughlin, that she informed and notified Members by email this morning that at 12 noon today in the Chamber, during our Order of Business, she will ask all Members to stand for a minute's silence, to pause for peace, to mark St. Brigid's Day in commemoration of St. Brigid who, as we all know, was a renowned peacemaker and demonstrated great leadership in the early part of the Irish church and society. In our standing for peace we show solidarity with those whose lives have been ravaged by war and we support the global call for worldwide peace. Gabhaim buíochas.
