I am a little uncertain myself.

That is a valid enough point but we are dealing with amendments from the Seanad and the policy and tradition has been that the Bill, if all the amendments are agreed, is therefore taken to be agreed also.

With respect, Deputy-----

The Deputy cannot do so. I agree with him that the best legislation is a product of a proper consultative process where everybody has time to consider a debate. I would have thought that as this legislation has gone through the various Stages, the opportunity would have arisen for those wishing to contribute to do so. At this point, there is no provision in Standing Orders, or anywhere else, to call a vote on the Bill. We had the opportunity while considering the 44 amendments to amend the amendments but not to rej…

I thank the Deputy. His protest is recorded, and it is only open to us to report to the Seanad that the amendments to the legislation made in that House have been agreed to. I thank all the Deputies for their co-operation on this matter.

A message will be sent to Seanad Éireann acquainting it that Dáil Éireann has agreed to amendments Nos. 1 to 9, inclusive, made by Seanad Éireann to the Oil Emergency Contingency and Transfer of Renewable Transport Fuels Functions Bill 2023, to which the agreement of Seanad Éireann is desired.

Does anyone wish to address this cluster of amendments? Does the Minister wish to do so?

All right.

Would any other Deputy like to contribute? No. I call the Minister.

I call Deputy Funchion.

Yes, we are.

We will now have Deputies Pringle, Healy Rae, and Deputy Joan Collins. I may have erred in procedure insofar as I was not chairing the proceedings on the last occasion, but I believe that when amendment No. 27 was moved, a number of contributions were made. Members are limited to two contributions so if a Member has made two contributions already, the House cannot hear the Deputy again. I call Deputy Pringle now to speak.

I wish her well and call Deputy Danny Healy-Rae now, please.

I believe they are ringing again.

Deputies, please, whoever has the phone ringing-----

No, no, Deputies, I ask that whoever’s phone is ringing to deal with it, please.

Can we keep the phones turned off, please?

I understand your emotion but, please, do not give yourself high blood pressure.

Is the amendment being pressed?

I note that Deputy Tóibín is not here to move his amendment.
