recommend that the full Estimate as for £12,622,326 for the Financial Year be adopted in due course by the Oireachtas."

The PRESIDENT

I move "that the Dáil doth agree with the Committee in the said Resolution."

Mr. ERNEST BLYTHE

I beg to second the proposition.

The PRESIDENT

I may say that I shall have the rest of the Estimates to-morrow. They will be circulated to-night, and will include 26, 29, 42, 53, 54, 56, 59.

Mr. THOS. JOHNSON

Are we to understand that the Minister is asking us as a special favour to allow these matters to be discussed to-morrow seeing that those Estimates are only to be given out to-night.

The PRESIDENT

Yes, and I should also mention items Nos. 19 and 20 as well, which I find here. We want next week a Bill to get through immediately on the setting up of the Saorstát, because directly it is set up we will have no money. We have only passed Estimates up to the 6th December to carry on the Public Services, so that it will be necessary to introduce legislation immediately in order to provide money to carry on the public services.

Question put and agreed to.
