I move:

(2) at 7.30 pm, Members to be permitted to make statements, of no longer than 5 minutes each, for a period of 30 minutes;

(3) at 8 pm, debate to resume on the second reading of the Mitochondrial Donation Law Reform (Maeve's Law) Bill 2021, with the debate to be adjourned by a Minister when no further speakers rise;

(4) the House then to immediately adjourn until 9.30 am on Wednesday, 1 December 2021; and

(5) from 8 pm until the adjournment of the House:

(a) any division called shall be deferred until 9.30 am on Wednesday, 1 December 2021; and

(b) if any Member draws the attention of the Speaker to the state of the House, the Speaker shall announce that he or she will count the House at 9.30 am on Wednesday, 1 December 2021.
