I remind Members that there are 34 recommendations that are in order. The debate on the first one has taken 30 minutes of the four hours we have available. At that rate, we will get to recommendation No. 8. I am not trying to curtail debate but I remind Senators that this business must be concluded by 9.30 p.m.

These two recommendations concern reports on the application of capital gains tax to REITs and IREFs and the Senator definitely strayed from that.

For clarity, are the Senator and the Minister talking about the equalisation of tax on agricultural diesel, diesel and petrol?

Maternity-Paternity Leave for County and City Councillors: Motion
I thought I missed the boat. I was at another meeting online. I am really happy that I am able to contribute. I thank every Senator from the administrative panel. I am aware that the Cathaoirleach's name is precluded from being officially on the motion, but I do not doubt that he would be the first to sign it, if he was not in his position. Equally, it is great to see Senators O'Loughlin and Ahearn, and everybody else involved on the administrative panel, putting it forward, and it is the correct panel to do so. I …
