The House has agreed that for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency only, the rapporteur's report of the Order of Business shall not be read out but shall be taken as read. There are two proposals to be put to the House today arising from this week's business. Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed to? Agreed.

I thank Deputy Cairns. We move to Solidarity-People Before Profit. Deputies Bríd Smith, Paul Murphy and Barry are sharing time.
