Is that agreed? Agreed.

When is it proposed to sit again?

I thank the Minister of State for his very comprehensive opening statement. I appreciate this is particularly technical legislation. I stand here between one barrister, namely, the Minister of State, and another, namely, Senator Ward, and I do not profess to have the same level of expertise or training as either of them. This is welcome legislation. It is interesting to note in the statistics that 39.4% of the Luxembourg prison population is foreign while only 0.3% of the Polish or Romanian prison population is for…

Next Tuesday.

Tomorrow morning at 9.30 a.m.

I thank the Leader for the business she outlined today. I am happy to agree to it. I was not in the Chamber on Wednesday last week because I was attending the funeral of former Senator, Minister and Deputy Niamh Bhreathnach. I wish to put on the record my sympathies to her family, friends and colleagues in the Labour Party. I served for almost 11 years with Niamh on Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. She was great fun, very warm and very friendly. When I arrived, she was a former Minister and Deputy and she was…

I thank the Minister of State. I thought I said that we might reflect on what was being said. Last time, I had about one and a half minutes to speak but clearly it was an impactful one and a half or thereabouts two minutes. I thank the Minister of State for taking it on board. I felt that the phrase “high-risk” was insulting. It was inappropriate in legislation. While we all want to make sure our networks are safe and our components within the networks are safe and so on, I did not think it was the right phraseolog…

On a matter of information, will the Minister of State give some detail on where we are with these infringement matters? Has the clock started ticking or is it about to start ticking? What is the window and equally, what is the fine or the cost of us not passing this measure by whenever? Obviously we want to pass it tonight. How much per day and from when does the clock start ticking?

How late are we?

Okay, quite a while ago.

Before I bring in the Minister of State, I welcome Deputy O'Connor to the Gallery. He is always very welcome to join us here in the Upper House. With him is a friend, Mario, whom I understand is originally from Romania and now living in Cork North-Central. He is also very welcome. Separate from sometimes being the Acting Chair, I am also the convener in this Parliament of the Ireland-Romania interparliamentary friendship group, so it is always nice to see visitors here and especially those from Romania. He is very …
