No, sorry. This is going to stop. A number of Senators have been using bad language in this Chamber inappropriately, not today, but I am just saying. The Seanad is not going to have inappropriate language inside. That is not going to continue. The next time someone does something like that we are suspending the House. Continue, Senator.

Having not applied by the Standing Orders, I will allow you extra time but use it carefully and appropriately. Be cautious of your language.

That is better.

The Senator should be careful about what he is saying about Government members as well.

I am not repeating it because I am not helping. When you are referring to anybody, try to temper the language.

I welcome to Seanad Éireann guests of Deputy Matt Carthy from Greece, who are students from University College Dublin.

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Canney. I remind Senators they may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of an amendment, who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. On Report Stage each amendment must be seconded. Amendments Nos. 1 and 4 to 6, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I welcome the Minister State, Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan, and pupils from Glandore National School to the Chamber. They are welcome to Seanad Éireann. I welcome Jimmy Collins whose 13th birthday is today. I wish him a happy birthday. By the way, the Minister of State was speaking to me earlier and there is no homework for the rest of the week for the entire class. If possible, I would give Jimmy twice as little homework but I do not think that is possible.

Before I call the next speaker, I welcome the family of Shane Lee, who works for Senator Joe O’Reilly. I welcome all the family to Seanad Éireann. They are most welcome. I also welcome the guests of Annie Keegan. They are also most welcome.

I remind Members there is latitude but we are on specific amendments. I know the Senator has referred to them. I want people to keep as close as they can to the amendments.

Before I call the Minister of State to respond, I welcome guests of Senator Shane Curley, Eileen and Ollie Monaghan, who are the sister-in-law and brother of Councillor Martin Monaghan. They are most welcome to Seanad Éireann and I thank them for being here.

I welcome to the Gallery guests of Senator Nelson Murray from Kennastown, Navan in County Meath. They are most welcome to Seanad Éireann and I thank them for being here.

Carry on.

Sorry to interrupt. I ask for silence in the Gallery while the Minister of State is speaking.

No, I would never do that.

I wish to interrupt the Minister of State for one second. I do not want to stop her and she can continue in a second, but we are over time, so I need to ask the Acting Leader to move that, notwithstanding anything in the Standing Orders of the House, the debate be extended to allow the Minister of State to finish her reply.

Is that agreed? Agreed.

Members appreciate a detailed response rather than cutting the debate short.

Before we move to the next item, I welcome guests of the Minister of State, Deputy Marian Harkin, to the Gallery. I welcome, with the Minister of State, Mr. Barry Adler, who is a former news editor with the New York Times , and his wife Pat. They are most welcome here to Seanad Éireann. I am sure people will be fascinated to learn all about the inner workings of the New York Times and what Pat and Barry think about the world of media today. I am sure Senators here will share their opinions; they will be down in the…

Senators have four minutes, with the Minister to reply no later than 7.05 p.m. It might be a bit later than that but we will continue the debate now with An Seanadóir Joe Flaherty.
