Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Second Stage
Before I call on Senator Murphy, I want to outline that there is a proposal before the Committee on Procedure and Privileges for the speaking rota on this legislation, which would allow for the Opposition to come in earlier. That is the rota I will use if the House is agreeable. Is that agreed? Agreed. I call Senator Murphy.

I thank the Senator for that concluding remark. I have four Senators offering and Senator O'Reilly, in his magnanimous nature, has said he will give way to all of his colleagues. I have Senators Mullen, Carrigy, Ahearn and Keogan.

There is no disposing of Senator Mullen. All four Senators have five minutes and the Minister of State will come back in at 4.40 p.m. I call Senator Conway.

Before I call on the Minister of State to conclude, I join the Leas-Chathaoirleach and other colleagues in congratulating her on her appointment. As one of only five Senators to have been appointed a Minister of State or Minister, and as the first female Senator to do so, on our first day back in the Seanad Chamber since the election of the Twenty-sixth Seanad it is appropriate that she, as one of our colleagues, is addressing us. I ask her now to conclude Second Stage.

As the Senator is canvassing for Ireland she might share the information on the vote for the European award.

Senator Norris has moved an amendment to the Order of Business, "That No. 12 be taken before No. 1." Is the amendment being pressed?
