I move: That Seanad Éireann, in accordance with section 8(3)(b) of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Acts 2003 to 2024, appoints the ordinary members of the Commission as follows: Senators Robbie Gallagher, Joe O’Reilly. I move amendment No. 1: To insert the following after “Joe O’Reilly”: “and Michael McDowell”. I move amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 1: To delete “Michael McDowell” and substitute the following: “Nessa Cosgrove”.

I welcome the guests of Senator Costello from Tallaght and the various residents associations. Will the Senators who are claiming a division please rise? In accordance with Standing Order 61 the names of the Senators dissenting will be recorded in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Seanad.
