All Senators got the letter on Standing Order 39.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 66 of 66 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.

That is under Standing Order 39.
On the Order of Business, I ask Senator Gavan to continue uninterrupted.
I will.
I thank Senator Keogan. We send our condolences to Deputy Verona Murphy and all her family.
Please stop interrupting.
I welcome the Chairman of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Cahill, from County Tipperary. We are here to discuss the report of the committee, entitled Issues impacting the Forestry Sector in Ireland, which was published in March 2021. It is timely.

I thank the Minister of State for outlining the elements of the implementation of the report by the committee. I thank all the members of the committee for their work and for their contributions here today. I call the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Cahill.

I have a long list of speakers and most of them are not here. Anybody who wishes to speak must indicate.
We are speaking to section 1. As we are on Committee Stage, I ask Members to stick to the amendments. Senator O'Loughlin is next.
Does the Minister of State wish to intervene?
I remind Senators that we are on Committee Stage and dealing with section 1. I have allowed latitude but that latitude is over. I ask Members to stick to the section.
When is it proposed to take next Stage?
