Dáil Éireann passed the Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020 on 29 July 2020 and it is sent herewith to Seanad Éireann for its recommendations.

I thank the Senator for his suggestion.

I thank the senior Senator from County Kerry for his interesting contribution.

I could not forget you.

I want to clarify something on the Order of Business for the House. No. 1, motion regarding earlier signature of the Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020 will be taken on conclusion of No. a 1.

Senator Ó Donnghaile has moved an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for Justice and Equality or the Minister with responsibility for children, disabilities, equality and integration on the Skellig Star direct provision centre and the future of direct provision generally be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?

I understand the Deputy Leader has a proposal to make.

Is that agreed? Agreed. Is the Order of Business, as amended, agreed to?

I ask the Deputy Leader to move the suspension of the House.

I apologise for interrupting. The acoustics here are great so I remind Senators to use modern technology and send text messages to each other if they wish to communicate. We changed Standing Orders so that could be done.

I thank the Minister for coming into the House. Being from Kerry, I am aware it is a concern for people I know in Cahersiveen and in the county. I thank the Minister for taking the time to come into the House to outline the situation and what the Department is doing at the request of Members.

On the question of the vote, I remind Members of the guidance on the Chamber and circulation therein were emailed out at the beginning of the week. I know it has been a long week and year and we are only halfway through it yet but do remember that social distancing rules apply to Members and while they are quite free to talk while waiting for the vote to start, please keep a social distance because cameras are in operation and I do not want this Chamber to get into disrepute. We are asking people to follow our guid…

Recommendations Nos. 7 and 8 in the name of Senator Paul Gavan have been ruled out of order as a potential charge on the Revenue.

I thank the Minister of State. It would be very helpful if he could translate that into layman's language.

Is the recommendation being pressed?

Recommendation No. 12 is out of order.

When is it proposed to take Report Stage?
