That is okay with me.

I wish to support my colleague, Senator Dolan, in regard to Lough Funshinagh. As the only Government representative living in County Roscommon I am well aware of this issue. The Leader will have heard me raise this before. No matter how many flowery speeches we make they will not solve it. We have a court decision which unfortunately has sided with Friends of the Irish Environment. We have to work on legislation. I acknowledge the Minister of State, Deputy O’Donovan, is working hard on this. Senator Dolan is right …

I also extend a céad míle fáilte to our guests. I join Senator Kyne in welcoming the announcement of the Ministers, Deputies Humphreys and Darragh O'Brien, on behalf of the Government regarding the CE and Tús schemes. The Senator spoke about the six or seven important changes in that regard. It should be noted that these are in addition to changes introduced earlier this year that allowed participants on CE schemes and the RSS who were more than 60 years of age to remain on those schemes until they reached retireme…

Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, agus céad míle fáilte roimh na múinteoirí agus na daltaí. I hope they have a wonderful day here. I acknowledge the Minister of State, Deputy Feighan, who is a Rossie like myself. I know he has been dealing with this issue and that people have been coming to him in relation to the dental treatment service scheme. I am getting a lot of representations about it as well. We all have to acknowledge the importance of oral health and dental care. Dental and oral health is an esse…

Cuirim fáilte roimh an múinteoir agus na daltaí. They are very welcome to Seanad Éireann. I say that on behalf of the Leas-Chathaoirleach, the Minister of State and on my own behalf. It is great to see people here. I acknowledge that the Minister of State, Deputy Feighan, the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, and the other Ministers of State in the Department are trying to sort out this matter. As the Minister of State has pointed out, extra money has been invested to try to deal with the service in parts of the c…

I start by condemning in the strongest possible terms the latest attack on the poor Ukrainian people in the city of Kremenchuk. Imagine being out with a member of one's family in a shopping centre in Dublin to pick up the basic foods or clothes one wants and these missiles suddenly hitting, with people dead and injured. It is utterly outrageous and monstrous carry-on. Every Member, including the Leader and you, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, will join me in condemning this blatant and outrageous attack on people. There seem…

There is nobody present to move amendment No. 43.

Amendment No. 49 cannot be moved. It has already been discussed with amendment No. 2.

When is it proposed to take Report Stage?

Is that agreed? Agreed.

I thank the Minister of State, the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, who was here earlier, the Senators and the staff of the House.

I am sure the Leader will agree with me when I make the following statement. Accurate and timely journalism has never been so important in this country. This was a comment from the Law Society of Ireland as it yesterday awarded its Justice Media Awards for 2022. I compliment people like Mary Carolan, Simon Carswell, Peter O'Dwyer, Catherine Sanz, Michael Doyle, Barry White, Michelle Hennessey and many more. In a local context, I was delighted that my former colleagues in Shannonside Northern Sound won the Justice M…

We all have.

Amendments Nos. 50 to 58, inclusive, and 60 are related and may be discussed together.

I presume the Senator is talking about withdrawing amendment No. 51 in her name and that of Senator Higgins.

Yes.

Amendment No. 52 is a Government amendment.

Amendments Nos. 59 and 61 are related and may be discussed together. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Amendments Nos. 62, 64 and 72 are related and may be discussed together. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Amendment No. 69 is out of order due to a potential charge on the Revenue.
