I will allow it at the end. I am just conscious that there are two people with the same letter.

I do not disagree with the Senators but I want to get to the amendments and then we will come to wrap up.

At the tail end, if that is okay. Does anyone else want to speak to the amendments? We are on amendments No. 9 and 13.

Amendment No. 10 has been ruled out of order.

Amendments Nos. 11 and 12 are ruled out of order due to a potential charge on the Exchequer.

Amendment No. 14 has been ruled out of order as it involves a potential charge on the Exchequer.

Before we continue, I ask the ushers to move our distinguished guests from the Public Gallery to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery.

Does the Minister want to speak to the amendment? There will be an opportunity for everyone to speak after we pass it. I call Senator Harmon.

Amendment No. 16 has been ruled out of order as it involves a potential charge on the State.

When is it proposed to take the next Stage?

Is that agreed? Agreed.

I welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery survivors of the mother and baby homes: Sheila O'Byrne, who was in St. Patrick's Mother and Baby Home, Navan Road, Dublin, Miriam Moriarty Owens, who was in Pembroke Alms Industrial School, later Nazareth House, Tralee, Mary Smith, who was in Sunday's Well Magdalene laundry, Clonakilty, and Mary Dunleavy Greene, who was in Mount Saint Vincent's, O'Connell Avenue, Limerick. Senators may make remarks on the Bill.

I thank the Senator for being a voice for the people who found themselves in the industrial schools, Magdalen laundries and institutions where so much pain occurred. Before we took the vote, I was reading the names into the record but the recording did not occur. Before I ask Senator Boyhan to take the Chair for the remaining part of this Bill, which I think is fitting and appropriate, I welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery: Sheila O'Byrne, who was in St. Patrick's Mother and Baby Home, Navan Road, Dublin;…

When is it proposed to sit again?

Is that agreed? Agreed.

Before we suspend, I thank Senator Noonan for chairing. In all my time in Seanad Éireann, I have never come across a case where a Commencement matter did not arrive. This is the first time in nearly two decades that this has happened. Whenever Senator Ní Chuilinn wants it next week, we expect that it will be the first item on the agenda and that the Minister will arrive with the answer to it. We will write to the Department and we will outline that the Seanad expects that, when the four Commencement matters are sen…

I have received notice from the following Senators that they propose to raise the following matters: Senator Teresa Costello - the need for the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment to make a statement on current funding allocations to anti-littering campaigns and in particular to Irish Business Against Litter. Senator Manus Boyle - the need for the Minister for Transport to provide an update on the improvements in rural transport systems being considered under the national sustainability mobility policy…

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Buttimer, back to the House.

Before I call on the Leader to outline the Order of Business, I welcome the chargé d'affaires from the Embassy of Slovenia and her husband on Statehood Day, Slovenia’s national day. Slovenia achieved independence in 1991. Ireland and Slovenia work closely together at the United Nations and in the European Union as colleagues and friends. We appreciated its support during the Brexit negotiations. There are nearly 1,500 Slovenians in Ireland who make a valuable contribution to this country and also, I am sure, to the…

Senator, with all due respect, I know you are quoting people. You can quote people, but if we all start quoting people-----
