Vol. 6 No. 9

FIREARMS (TEMPORARY PROVISIONS) BILL, 1924—(FIRST STAGE).

I ask leave of the Dáil to have this temporary Bill printed and circulated. The position is that the Public Safety Act, which is at present in force, expires on the 31st of this month, and the provisions in it which give power to control the use, importation and sale of firearms and ammunition require to be renewed. A Bill consolidating and improving the laws bearing on this subject is at present the subject of inter-Departmental discussion and conference, and it will take some time to prepare. In the meantime it is necessary to make temporary provision to deal with the control of firearms and explosives, and it is with that object that I am introducing this temporary Bill.

Motion put and agreed to.
Bill read a First Time. Second Stage ordered for Thursday next.
