I ask the Senator to conclude or to address his remarks through the Chair.
Jerry Buttimer
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 634 of 639 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

Standing Order 16 is very clear to all Members. The proposal for the arrangements for the day are put forward by the Leader. A vote of the House is required to amend or change that. If Members wish to speak to the Leader, that is their prerogative. If the Leader or a representative of the Leader chooses to bring a proposal to the House, it is the House's decision to make.

The Leas-Chathaoirleach put his hand up to speak. Is that correct? Yes. I will then bring the Minister in. Senator Gallagher might consider the request made by Senator Kyne.
