Before I call on the Leader to announce the Order of Business, I wish to announce that I have received notice in writing from Senator Michael D'Arcy of his resignation as a Member of Seanad Éireann. Consequently, a casual vacancy has arisen in the membership of the Seanad.

In regard to allegations being made by Members about people who are outside the House, for the benefit of Members I am going to circulate the guidance on that issue. There have been a lot of court cases about the way Members have brought up issues. Members can bring up issues; that is the job of the Seanad and the Dáil. It is your job, but you must do it in a way that protects the House. I ask Members to be mindful of that.

Seven Senators are offering to speak. We need to finish in time to clean the Chamber and start the next business at 1.30 p.m. In addition, the Leader has to respond to the Order of Business, and a vote might be called. We are going over time. I realise we now have only one Order of Business per week. That is just the way circumstances are but in order to fit everybody in I ask Members to be brief.
