-----hosting the Euro 2028 or the women's champions league final. It is not as simplistic as just having a boycott on this and there being no repercussions other than the six points and maybe a small fine to deal with. That is not the way to look at it and it is not a true reflection of what could happen. All that being said, I hope decisions will be made by the end of the week on this. It might not be to Senator Andrews's satisfaction, but certainly it will be done in terms of the safety of people more than anythi…

I move: That Seanad Éireann – - expresses its deep sadness on the death of Ernie Caffrey; - conveys its sincere condolences to his family; and - expresses its gratitude for his notable contribution, as a member of Seanad Éireann, to Irish public life and for his dedicated service to the people of Ireland.

I move: That Seanad Éireann approves the following Order in draft: Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Act 2022 (Designation of Carlow County Council) (Parts of Administrative Areas) Order 2026, a copy of which has been laid in draft form before Seanad Éireann on 12th March, 2026.

The Senator should speak on the amendment.

The Senator is nowhere near the amendment.

The Senator is so far off the amendment that he does not know where it is.

Dexcom.

Tomorrow at 10.30 a.m.

I also commend this motion put forward by Fianna Fáil Senators and Senator O’Loughlin. The suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement is something we have been calling for as a country and as a Government for a long time. It was really only Ireland and Spain who were the lone voices at the start. Thankfully, we have a number of countries now that are open to it. I think there are 17 or 18 countries open to it, but it is incredibly frustrating after seeing what has been going on for almost three years. The at…

Withdraw it.

At 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday, 9 June.

The Order of Business is No. 1, motion regarding the appointment of members of An Coimisiún Toghcháin, to be taken on conclusion of the Order of Business without debate; No. 2, address to Seanad Éireann by MEPs representing the European Parliament Midlands-North-West constituency, to be taken at 2 p.m. in accordance with the arrangements set out in the motion agreed by the House on 13 May 2026; No. 3, Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill 2025 - Second Stage, to be taken at 5 p.m. and to conclude at 6…

I thank the 20 Senators who made contributions to the Order of Business. Senator Clifford-Lee spoke about St. Peter's GAA club in her area. She mentioned that three football clubs that have come together and are working together to try to increase and improve facilities for many kids in that area. It is good to see that that has happened because there is limited funding available across the whole country to fund sports facilities for sports clubs. We often see sports clubs going separately looking for funding. It i…

I move: That Seanad Éireann, noting that on 21st April, 2026, the Government nominated Mr. Lee Komito and Mr. Ross Frenett for appointment by the President to be ordinary members of An Coimisiún Toghcháin , recommends that, pursuant to section 9(9) of the Electoral Reform Act 2022, Mr. Lee Komito and Mr. Ross Frenett be appointed by the President to be ordinary members of An Coimisiún Toghcháin .

I propose, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders or the Order of Business for today, that No. 2 will conclude at 5 p.m., if not previously concluded, and No. 3 will be taken immediately thereafter.

On behalf of all Senators, I thank the MEPs for being here today. This was a really good initiative that was set up in the previous Seanad. It is very constructive. It is a great opportunity for us to understand what they are doing and it is a great opportunity for the MEPs to outline their priorities and what they are highlighting at a European level. There has always been a little bit of a disconnect. When someone gets elected to Europe, people often say they do not see them for four or five years. That is just t…

At 9.30 a.m. tomorrow.

I might say something about it at the conclusion of the Order of Business.

The Order of Business is No. 1, statements on student accommodation and supports, to be taken at 4.45 p.m. and to conclude at 6.15 p.m. if not previously concluded with the time allocated to the opening remarks of the Minister not to exceed ten minutes, group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes, all other Senators not to exceed five minutes and the Minister to be given no less than ten minutes to reply to the debate; No. 2, International Co-operation (Omagh Bombing Inquiry) Bill 2026 - Report and Final Stages…

I thank colleagues for their contributions. I will say a few words on former Senator Kyne at the end. Senator O'Loughlin spoke about the 32 marathons in 32 days by Jordan and Cian Adams. The amount of money they have raised for dementia is phenomenal at over €1 million. It is really to be recognised. As the Senator outlined, there is a good opportunity to have a debate in this House with the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, on resources for people with dementia. We will see if that is possible. She also spoke abou…
