Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

As we have three five-minute slots left, I call the Leader to move for an extension of time, and I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Byrne, for agreeing to stay on. I move: That, notwithstanding anything in the order of the Seanad on 2 April, statements on international trade and international relations shall be brought to a conclusion at 10.45 a.m., and Commencement Matters shall be taken immediately thereafter.
