I will let the Minister of State respond to that.

Amendments Nos. 65 to 69, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Senator Higgins moved amendment No. 65. This is the first amendment and I am dealing with that.

The Senator may continue to do so.

Amendments Nos. 70 and 71 are related and may be discussed together.

Amendments Nos. 70 and 71 are being taken together. The Senator has already indicated that she intends to withdraw amendment No. 70.

The Senator has indicated that she proposes to speak to amendments Nos. 70 and 71, but that she proposes to withdraw amendment No. 70.

I welcome to the Visitors Gallery our colleague, Senator Crowe, who for the first time since he was elected is accompanied here by his mother, Breda, his uncle, Pat McMahon and Pat's daughter, Yvonne. You are all very welcome to Leinster House. I am sure but for Covid-19 they would have been here a long time ago, but better late than never. You are very welcome. I hope you enjoy your evening. I am sure all Members of the House share in that welcome to you all. Enjoy your day.

The Senator has made her point. The Minister of State has responded to the amendments.

To my mind, the Minister of State is dealing with all 228 amendments as tabled. He will deal with sections as we come to them.

We must first dispose of amendments Nos. 70 and 71.

I must ask the Senator to report progress.

When is it proposed to sit again?

Like the Cathaoirleach and Senator Chambers, I welcome the Dutch ambassador on King's Day. From his script about the relationship, the Cathaoirleach may or may not be aware that the chain of the Lord Mayor of Dublin has on its crest "King William of Orange", which was a surprise to many people. It has been there for a very long time.

It is another link between us and the Netherlands. I pay tribute to both Jimmy Leonard and Michael O'Kennedy, who passed away during the recess. I was at the funeral of Michael O'Kennedy in Nenagh last week. I did not know Jimmy Leonard well, but he served in the Chamber for a long time. Michael O'Kennedy had a distinguished career as a Minister, Senator, Deputy and a European Commissioner for a period. I pay tribute to both those gentlemen. I offer my deepest sympathies and condolences to their families and friend…

I also mentioned the delays in processing passports, work permits and visas.

I thank Senator Ruane. I note Senator Higgins wishes to come back in. Does any other Senator wish to come back in also on section 3? No.

I must point out that the note for the information of the Chair to rule amendments Nos. 4, 5, 7, 8, 113, 181, 182 and 187 out of order is that they would require the commission to regulate the use of algorithms, microtargeting and recommender systems. These additional responsibilities would potentially involve a significantly increased expenditure on the part of the media commission and they must be ruled out of order in accordance with Standing Order 41. It is not the definition, it is how they process-----

I am just pointing out that that is the information for the Chair, just for the benefit of those watching here and online.

Standing Order 41 has been argued about by people including me over time when I am not sitting in the Chair so it is a regular. The Government can bring forward items that impose a charge on the Revenue but other Members cannot. That is the argument in Standing Order 41. That of course can be dealt with-----
