Senator, please.

I ask the Senator to respect the rules of the House. If Members are going to stand up claiming a point of order but, when I ask them whether it relates to the Standing Orders of the House, they say it does when it clearly does not, I would appreciate it if they instead respected not only the rules of the House, but also the Minister, who is on his feet replying, as is his right. That is the way we ordered the business.

No. I will not allow anyone else to contribute now. The Minister is on his feet discussing group 3. We have agreed the rules and the procedure. The Minister without interruption.

Next is group 4 on the redaction of certain records. Group 4 is the subject matter of amendments Nos. 8 and 9 from the Dáil and Seanad Report Stage amendments Nos. 5 to 10, inclusive. Before I ask the Minister to speak on the subject matter of group 4, I will outline the procedure again, given that Senators are coming and going. Senators are entitled to speak once on this Stage. They are entitled to intervene in the debate under Standing Order 39, but they must ask the Member in possession to give way and, if they …

I am sorry. Does the Minister wish to speak on group 4 first?

The Senator knows that is not one of the amendments under discussion.

The Senator would be more than welcome to introduce a new Standing Order to deal with that but her comments are not relevant to the contribution. As it is now 5.15 p.m., I am required to put the following question in accordance with the orders of the Seanad of 22 October and 23 October 2020: "That Fourth Stage is hereby completed, that the Bill is hereby received for final consideration and that the Bill is hereby passed."

The question is to be put at 8.15 p.m. We will be back before then.

Amendments Nos. 3 and 5 are related and may be discussed together, by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Is the amendment being pressed?

The time permitted for this debate having expired, I am required to put the following question, in accordance with an order of the Seanad of 22 October 2020: "That section 3 is agreed to in Committee; in respect of each of the sections undisposed of, the section is hereby agreed to in Committee; the Preamble and Title are hereby agreed to in Committee; the Bill is accordingly reported to the House without amendment; Fourth Stage is hereby completed; and the Bill is hereby received for final consideration and passed…

In accordance with the order of today the Seanad now stands adjourned until 10 a.m on Thursday, 5 November 2020.

Are you proposing an amendment to the Order of Business?

You have to propose the amendment.

We will deal with that when we take the motion. We will take that as No. 1.

To adhere to social distancing guidelines and to adhere to the rules of the House, when someone is speaking, other Senators should leave the Chamber if they need to have a discussion.

I am sorry to interrupt the Senator but I ask Members to be quiet as they move in and out of the Chamber and to have their conversations, if any, outside of the Chamber.

As we may not have an Order of Business or matters under Business of Seanad tomorrow, I am allowing a bit of latitude regarding the normal time allowed for the Order of Business today.

Before I call on the Leader to respond, I would like clarification in regard to the timing of No. 2. Should it read "to be taken at 1.30 p.m. or 15 minutes after the conclusion of No. 1 or whichever is later"?

Senator Boyhan has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business, "That No. 1 not be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?
