I move that we sit longer than 4 o'clock this evening. I fear that it will be necessary to sit longer in order to deal with business that we have on the Order Paper to-day, if it is not desired that we should sit again to-morrow. If that meets the views of Deputies, I move that we sit later than 4 o'clock this evening. Otherwise I see no way out of it except by meeting to-morrow.
BUSINESS OF THE DAY.
Is it proposed to take No. 1 on the Paper, the Broadcasting Report?
I do not think so, Sir. I think that, apart from the First Reading of the Reconstruction Bill and the Second Reading of the Railways Bill, the whole time of the Dáil will be occupied to-day, and I would propose, then, to take the Final Report of the Special Committee on Broadcasting on the next day after the Easter Recess that we would meet.
We are meeting specially for the Budget Statement on that day.
I would leave it over until the 1st May.
Is it suggested by the President, in moving for an extension of the sitting after 4 o'clock, to have a short adjournment in the meantime?
Yes, I would agree to that. I would suggest that about 1.30 or 2 o'clock would be a convenient time.
Ordered—That the Dáil sit later than 4 o'clock for the consideration of the Second Stage of the Railways Bill.
