When is it proposed to take Report Stage?

Is that agreed? Agreed.

I have received notice from the following Senators that they propose to raise the following matters: Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee - The need for the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to provide an update on the new family law courts complex project at Hammond Lane, Dublin 7. Senator Robbie Gallagher - The need for the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to make a statement on the shortage of pathologists across the country. Senator Seán Kyne - The need for the Minister for Climate, Ener…

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, to the House for the first and second Commencement matters.

I welcome visitors from Dublin College Sallynoggin who are here in both galleries today as guests of Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett. I also welcome H.E. Bernardo Guanche Hernández, the Cuban ambassador to Ireland, who is accompanied by Marie Barry. They are here with Senator Andrews and they are very welcome. I hope the ambassador enjoys his visit to Leinster House.

Before I move on to our next speaker, I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Cummins, a former Member of this House and his guests from the Dungarvan and West Waterford Chamber of Commerce. You are very welcome and I hope you enjoy your visit to Leinster House today.

You cannot really make those type of accusations. Can you find another word?

I ask Senator O'Reilly to withdraw the word "lied" please. We do not use that word.

That is okay. Thank you.

Amendment No. 1 has been ruled out of order as it conflicts with the principle of the Bill as read a Second Time.

Amendment No. 2, in the name of Senator McDowell, has been ruled out of order as it conflicts with the principle of the Bill as read a Second Time.

Letters went out. I signed them earlier today.

Before I call the Minister, I welcome to the Gallery Mrs Bridget Walsh, who recently celebrated a significant birthday, her 90th. She is joined by her family members. They are guests of our colleague Senator Imelda Goldsboro, so I take it they are all from Tipperary. I hope they enjoy their visit to Leinster House. I congratulate Ms Walsh on her recent significant birthday.

We are on section 1 at the moment.

I remind Members that I have allowed Senator McDowell to comment on amendment No. 2 because it was in his name but it has been ruled out of order. The Minister will reply and I will then put the question, "That section 1 stand part of the Bill". I call the Minister.

It was sent, yes.

We have already discussed amendment No. 1.

No, they are two different amendments.

I will ask the Minister to respond first.

I ask the Seanadóir to confine her remarks to the section, please.
