It is not opposed.

No. I congratulate the Deputy because I know he has put a significant amount of work into getting the Bill ready for First Stage.

I move: Tuesday's business shall be: - Motion re Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Data Protection Act 2018 (Sections 51(3) and 60(6)) (Scoping Exercise in response to requests from Dignity4Patients) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 (without debate and any division claimed to be taken immediately) - Motion re Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions (1) (without debate and any division claimed to be taken immediately) - Motion re Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions (2) (without debate and any divisi…

I thank all the various Whips for their commentaries. We can discuss all these matters again on Thursday. To clarify, statements will be held on Irish unification, as the Tánaiste has said previously, very shortly. I can confirm it this on Thursday but the Order of Business stands. We have a huge amount of legislation to get through, as everybody can see.

No.

No.

No. I congratulate Deputy Cummins on her first Bill.

I move: That Dáil Éireann approve the following Regulations in draft: Data Protection Act 2018 (Section 60(6)) (Scoping Exercise in Response to Requests from Dignity4Patients) (Amendment) Regulations 2026, and Data Protection Act 2018 (Section 51(3)) (Scoping Exercise in Response to Requests from Dignity4Patients) (Amendment) Regulations 2026, copies of which were laid in draft form before Dáil Éireann on 11th June, 2026.

I move: That, notwithstanding anything in the Order of the Dáil of 5th February, 2025, or in the Order of the Dáil of 15th April, 2026, setting out the rota in which Questions to members of the Government are to be asked, Questions for oral answer following those next set down to the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration shall be set down to Ministers in the following temporary sequence, without any change to the allocation of Priority Questions: Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister for Furthe…

I move: That Dáil Éireann, with effect from 17th June, 2026, appoints— ( a ) Deputy Naoise Ó Cearúil to be Cathaoirleach of the Committee on Artificial Intelligence, and ( b ) Deputy Shane Moynihan to be Cathaoirleach of the Committee on the Irish Language, Gaeltacht and the Irish-speaking Community.

I thank the Senator for raising this important issue and for her constant advocacy for health services in Limerick and the mid-west region. She has worked closely with me on various projects for mental health and I acknowledge that, particularly with regard to CAST in Limerick, which is going from strength to strength. I am taking this on behalf of the Minister for Health, Deputy Carroll MacNeill. As the Senator has alluded to, the Government is working to address the challenges facing acute care in the mid-west. W…

It is coming shortly.

The Senator mentioned CAST. Superintendent Andrew Lacey drove this from the start. I have a had a lot of discussions with him. That is a sign of a positive initiative that should be replicated around the country. That is what we are hoping to do. It is really important that the staff are in place to deliver the vital services. I also compliment the regional executive officer, Sandra Broderick, who is open to discussions with all politicians and has made significant changes there. I have some statistics. In December…

No.

It is proposed, notwithstanding yesterday's Order of Business, that the motion regarding the report of the Committee on Standing Orders and Dáil Reform entitled Rotas and arrangements for Leaders' Questions, Questions Nominated for Priority and Private Members' time shall be taken on the conclusion of proceedings on the Air Pollution (Amendment) Bill 2025 [Seanad], without debate, and any division demanded thereon shall be taken immediately.

I move: That Dáil Éireann adopts the rotas and arrangements recommended in the Report of the Committee on Standing Orders and Dáil Reform entitled "Rotas and arrangements for Leaders' Questions, Questions nominated for priority and Private Members' Time", a copy of which was laid before Dáil Éireann on 10th June, 2026.

I move: Tuesday's business shall be: - Motion to Instruct the Committee on the Guardianship of Infants (Amendment) Bill 2026 (without debate and any division claimed to be taken immediately) - Finance Bill 2026 (Second Stage) (to conclude at the end of the first speaking round; not to exceed 3 hours and 34 minutes) Tuesday's private members' business shall be the Motion re “Stop the Game” Campaign and FAI participation in matches against Israel, selected by Sinn Féin. Wednesday's business shall be: - Statements on …

I will start at the beginning in relation to the motion that Sinn Féin and the Independent Technical Group have tabled. I will not accept that motion. In relation to the International Protection Act, which will be commenced on Friday, we should all note, and the Taoiseach spoke extensively to this, that the only change on Friday is that the balance between the State and the asylum applicant will shift in favour of the State. It will become much harder for those claiming asylum who are not entitled to asylum to succ…

Stop playing games.
