An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
For the benefit of Members, in regard to the scheduling of Government business and other business in the House, that business is ordered on the Order of Business of the day. If all Stages of a Bill are taken together, it is not practical or possible for additional amendments to be introduced on Committee Stage. For the further benefit of Members, it is in the Standing Orders of the House that Senators are not allowed to refer to Members who are not present.

Senator Higgins has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That the Report and Final Stages of the Social Welfare (Covid-19) (Amendment) Bill 2020 not be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?

If Members want to intervene, they can do so if another Member gives way, but Standing Orders must be observed. I ask Senator Buttimer, please, to give out to Senator Gavan through the Chair.

Once the Minister has given her reply, Members are not allowed to speak again. The Senator can make her point on Committee Stage. I thank the Minister for coming before the House and congratulate her on her new portfolio. I was delighted to serve with her on the all-party consultation group on commemorations, which was a huge success under her chairmanship. Commemorations were a very difficult subject. A lot of things could have gone wrong, but thankfully it was a huge success because she was the chair. It was a hu…

Tourism: Statements
I welcome the Minister to the House and thank her for coming in today at an important time for the tourism industry, needless to say not only in my own county of Kerry, but throughout the country. Many people are visiting Ireland who have never visited before and most of them are from Dublin. The Minister is more than welcome to come to Kerry. When Senator Ned O’Sullivan gets into the Chamber I am sure he will also extend this invitation. As the Minister knows, tourism is one of the big economic drivers in Kerry an…
