Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

Will the Whip provide clarity on the point? As I understand it, the order provides that the amendments offered to Part 1 should conclude after three hours. Given that effectively all the amendments deal with Part 1, there could be a position where the House would have dealt with the grouping by 1.45 p.m. The question is whether we can have more time if we have only dealt with 28 of the 52 amendments by that time? This would ensure that the House could reach all the amendments.
