Five Members remain to speak. With the permission of the House, if each Member takes five minutes we will get them all in and be able to call the Minister at 1.37 p.m.

With the agreement of the House, Senator Boyhan will share time with Senator Clonan.

I thank the Senator for his co-operation. I warmly welcome Carmel and Lorna McGreehan, the mum and sister of our colleague, Senator McGreehan, to the Public Gallery.

I hope Senator McGreehan's mum and sister are very proud of her, as we are, and of the work she is doing. The final speaker is Senator Currie. I thank Members for their co-operation.

Before calling the Minister to reply, I thank Members for their participation in this important debate. In the coming weeks, I will work with the Ceann Comhairle and the Members of the Oireachtas collectively to support our women Members. This debate has shown us, very eloquently and emotionally, that we have an obligation as a society to end violence against women and gender-based violence. As Cathaoirleach, I will work with all Senators to ensure female Members have our support.

As Members will be well aware, fuair an iar-Aire agus iar-Bhall den Seanad, Niamh Bhreathnach, bás. Members will be aware that the former Minister and Senator, Niamh Bhreathnach, has died. She was born in Loughlinstown, Dublin, in 1945.

I remind Members that when it comes to matters before the courts, we should be careful in our pronouncements. I appreciate the sensitivity of the matter the Senator raises.

We now move to two-minute slots. I remind Members that it is one item in the two-minute slot.

The next speaker is an Seanadóir Cloonan.

I am sorry, Senator.

I thank Senator Murphy. We appreciate and thank him for sharing those personal remarks.

I thank the Senator for his brevity. That allows me to bring in Senator Dolan if she can be very brief.

I wish to be associated with the tributes and the remarks to the Turkish and Syrian people this afternoon. I extend to the Turkish people my own and our deepest sympathies and our support and solidarity. Senator Murphy so eloquently read out that beautiful text that epitomised what is so horrible about this event in Türkiye. I call on the Acting Leader to reply.

Senator Martin has moved an amendment to the Order of Business: "That No. 19 be taken before No. 1." The Acting Leader has indicated that she is prepared to accept the amendment. Is the amendment agreed to? Agreed.

When is it proposed to take Second Stage?

Is that agreed? Agreed.
