The Select Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment has completed its consideration of the Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024 and has made no amendments thereto.

We will take Leaders' Questions at 12 noon.

No. On a point of order, it is a fair disgrace that the main political parties could not have their speakers here to contribute on this very important issue, which is so important to rural Ireland. Shame on them.

The opportunity was available and there were speakers from the various parties.

It is a shame that the Dáil has to adjourn early today because they would not turn to do their job.

Where were Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael? Where were the Members of Sinn Féin and the Regional Group? They would not come into the Dáil to stand up for the people they are going to be looking for votes off in a couple of weeks.
