I thank the Deputy. That concludes the debate for this evening as the time limit of eight hours has been reached.
Only one amendment was tabled for Report Stage, by Deputies Ruth Coppinger, Richard Boyd Barrett, and Paul Murphy. That amendment has been ruled out of order on the grounds of non-relevance to the provisions of the Bill and it does not arise out of Committee Stage proceedings. Accordingly, there are no amendments on Report Stage.
As there are no amendments tabled for Report Stage that are in order, we now proceed to Fifth Stage. I welcome the Minister to the House.
On the question?
Yes.
Does the Minister want to come back in? No. The question now is that the Bill-----
Thank you, Deputy Coppinger. Please resume your seat.
I cannot demand an answer. Thank you, Deputy.
You are out of order even asking that question.
You know that my role is to be impartial and chair the debate. Thank you, Deputy.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to Second Stage of the Quality in Public Procurement (Contract Preparation and Award Criteria) Bill 2021, taken on Thursday, 12 February 2026. On the question, "That the Bill be now read a Second Time", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2), that division must be taken now.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding ban on investment funds purchasing family homes. On Tuesday, 17 February 2026, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2), that division must be taken now.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to Second Stage of the Work Life Balance (Right to Remote Work) Bill 2026, taken on Wednesday, 18 February 2026. On the question, "That the Bill be now read a Second Time", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2), that division must be taken now.
Would Deputy Boyd Barrett allow the Tánaiste answer? He asked the question.
Thank you, Tánaiste.
Before we move to Other Members' Questions, I have a message to welcome the guests from Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí in Tralee. They are guests of Deputy Pa Daly but I am reliably informed the Minister of State, Deputy Michael Moynihan's wife is a teacher there. They are very welcome.
Leave the Tánaiste time to respond.
Deputy Kenny is using another Member's time.
We stick to the 60 seconds. If you cannot make your point, then you have asked the question in the wrong forum.
Allow the answer, Deputy.
Please, Deputy.
I call the Tánaiste to respond.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
