Regarding statements and Private Members' Bills, there is a difficulty because they are two-hour slots. Any proposals Senator Buttimer has, I suggest that he makes them to the House and through the Cathaoirleach's office if he wants to write. They are the issues. Regarding the issue Senator Buttimer brought up on the Order of Business and that his name was indicated, he is aware of the system. His name is on the list. That is the system I am operating and I am doing it in a fair manner.

No. I am just making the point.

While this is not normal procedure, as we have a Senator from Tipperary, I will allow him to speak. The honourable Senator from Tipperary will now address the House on Tipperary's magnificent win over the weekend. Congratulations to Tipperary.

A hundred per cent. I could not be happier.

We all support Tipperary in the final, except the people from Dublin. Is the support for Tipperary agreed anyway?

I have received notice from Senator Ned O'Sullivan that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter: The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the outbreak of Covid-19 at Oaklands Nursing Home, Listowel, County Kerry. I have also received notice from Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile of the following matter: The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to provide an update on the programme for Government commitment to hold a referendum to extend pres…

I welcome the Minister for Health, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, to the House.

I too express my sympathies to the families of the bereaved in Listowel who have lost their loved ones. They are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House.

I thank the Minister for giving an insight into the important actions being taken on the issue of domestic violence. I remind Members that this debate will be adjourned after roughly an hour and 15 minutes. Each group has about ten minutes. By the time we get around to each group, that will be the debate adjourned, so there will not be a second round. Many Members have indicated that they will share time, so they might liaise with their groups to make sure they manage to get in on this occasion, but the debate will…

Senator Gallagher should be aware that the rota I am working from was agreed at a meeting of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, CPP. I can share the rota with the Senator.

I am going with the rota that was agreed by the group leaders at the CPP. If the Fianna Fáil group would like the Senator to go first, I have no problem with that. However, according to the rules we are applying, the Fianna Fáil group goes first. Fianna Fáil has ten minutes. Then it will be the turn of the Independent group and then Senator Ward. That was agreed by the CPP.

Is that agreed? Agreed.

I thank the Senator for her important work on this area in County Louth.

Is that agreed? Agreed.

When is it proposed to take Committee Stage?

Is that agreed? Agreed.

When is it proposed to sit again?

I have received notice from Senator Tim Lombard that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter: The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to provide an update on the calf investment scheme. I have also received notice from Senator Timmy Dooley of the following matter: The need for the Minister for Education to provide funding for the construction of a physical education hall as part of the school extension at Gaelscoil Mhíchíl Cíosóg, Enni…

To be clear, if anyone wants to interrupt, they have to do so in adherence with Standing Orders.

The Leader, without interruption.
