Gnó an tSeanaid - Business of Seanad
Seanad Éireann — 2026-02-11
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

Before I ask Senator Maria Byrne to propose a suspension of the House I welcome to the Gallery guests of the Minister of State, Deputy Feighan, Senator Dee Ryan, Senator Curley, Deputy Dempsey and the Minister for enterprise, Deputy Burke. We are joined by David, Hazel, Dylan, and Charlie Sheridan from the Darnley Lodge Hotel, Athboy. We also have Eimear Harte, Paidi, Fiona and Cormac Reilly from Athboy. Councillor Anna Grainger may also be here with a guest although she may not have arrived yet. That is a long guest list.
As there is a vote in the Dáil, we do not have a Minister to start the debate. I ask Senator Maria Byrne to propose a suspension of the House until the conclusion of the vote.

Maria Byrne (FG), Agricultural Panel

I so propose.

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

Is that agreed? Agreed.

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

Before I call the proposer of the Bill, I earlier welcomed Councillor Anna Grainger, who was not here at that time. I now officially welcome Councillor Grainger and her guest, Neeth Job. You are most welcome. Thank you for being in the Seanad today.
