Thank you, Taoiseach. Deputy Collins to respond.

Time is up. Thank you, Taoiseach.

Before I call on the Chief Whip, I welcome all the people in the Gallery this afternoon. I hope they are enjoying our robust debates, especially St. Anne's National School from Rathangan and their teacher Ms Cunningham. I call the Chief Whip under Standing Order 35 to move the arrangements for this week's business.

Is that agreed? It is not agreed. I call Deputy Doherty.

Are the arrangements for the Order of Business agreed to?

What is the point of order?

A point of order arises where a Standing Order has not been complied with. I ask the Deputy to resume his seat. There is no point of order. We will vote on the Order of Business. Is the Order of Business agreed to?

There is no point of order.

Does the Government Chief Whip wish to respond? If not, we will move on.

The Order of Business stands.

Are the proposed arrangements for dealing with this week's business agreed to?

I will put the question.

Thank you, Taoiseach.

We will be on time, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Bacik.

Thank you, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Whitmore.

Deputy Whitmore is on her feet.

Deputy, there is no interaction.

Thank you, Taoiseach. The next speaker is Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett. Your time is up, Taoiseach.

I call Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett.

Please.

The Select Committee on Disability Matters has completed its consideration of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2026 and has made no amendments thereto.

Is the Bill opposed?

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

I am not sure this is pertinent.

We will leave it to the Taoiseach.
