Thank you. Anois, Senator O'Loughlin.

As Members are aware, Standing Order 52 covers the issue around adverse effects on people who are not here to defend and speak for themselves. Standing Order 53(8) also talks about the public interest. I understand that Members will raise issues here under public interest for the citizens of Ireland who may raise issues. On the other hand, they may be on the receiving end of adverse effects upon them for speaking up on behalf of people or on issues that they feel need to be raised. When Members raise issues they wi…

I thank Senator Craughwell for sharing that very intimate final few weeks and days of his wife's journey on this earth and his support for her.

I referred earlier to Standing Order 52 in relation to utterances in the House and the public interest. I realise many of the issues raised here today are in the public domain and many of the names mentioned are also in the public domain, having been reported in the media and dealt with by committees. I just want to make sure Members strike the balance between the public interest and people's right to their good name.

I am sure the Leader will provide time in the Order of Business in the coming weeks, in conjunction with the families and Members from Donegal, to ensure we have expressions of sympathy for the former Senator to give people more time to put on the record his great service to this House, to Donegal and to Ireland.

We have already discussed it this morning but I congratulate the Senator.

I admit that the Senator is not incorrect in his statement.

I would be quite happy to welcome them to the Seanad.

You see how gracious we are in Kerry that the Senator went way over time and I never even rang the bell once. I said, "You know what? If it only happens once every 75 years we can definitely give extra time on it". I said this morning that it was quite a scene after the game itself to see the celebrations on the pitch in Croke Park. I think there was somebody who was 91 years of age when the cup arrived in Mayo in the past couple of weeks and he was quite emotional on the return of the cup after 75 years. We look f…

I would not say that. It is joy unconfined.

I do not know about the football field, but Senator Duffy always had great positional sense in politics.

Regarding Standing Order 153(1), before the Order of Business I announced the death of a former Member of this House, Enda Bonner. Members stood for a minute's silence. One of the Standing Orders of this House ensures that all former Members are remembered by the House. I ask the Leader to read out the motion that will be sent to the family this week.

I understand the Leader has a proposal for the House.

Is that agreed? Agreed.

I welcome guests of Deputy George Lawlor from Women's Shed New Ross. You are most welcome to Seanad Éireann. I thank the Minister for coming to the House.

Is that agreed? Agreed.

When is it proposed to take Committee Stage?

Is that agreed? Agreed.

When is it proposed to take the next Stage?

Is that agreed? Agreed.
