The order in which I propose to take the business is as follows:—1. (Appointment of Public Accounts Committee). 2. (Report of Comptroller and Auditor-General). 5. (Civic Guard Acquisition of Premises Amendment Bill, 1925). 6. (Motion by Minister for Justice for suspension of Standing Order 88). 7. (Enforcement of Law Occasional Powers Continuance Bill, 1925). 8. (Suspension of Standing Order 88). 9. (Firearms Bill, 1925— Report). 10. (Suspension of Standing Order 88). 12. (Local Authorities Combined Purchasing Bill, 1925—Report). 4. (Fisheries Bill, 1925—Committee Resumed). 11. (Industrial and Commercial Properties Protection Bill, 1925—Second Stage). 13. (Money Resolution—Land Bond Bill). 14. (Land Bond Bill, 1925—Committee). 15. (Arterial Drainage Bill, 1925).
I regret to say the Minister for Education is unwell, and it is not proposed to take his Estimates. I presume I am meeting with the approval of the Dáil in taking the legislative programme, as I have outlined it, to-day, and the Estimates that appeared on the Order Paper last week, to-morrow. The first is the Courts of Justice, next the Ministry of External Affairs (the League of Nations Vote), and the others on the Order Paper.
I move that the Dáil sit later than 8.30, and that the motion for the adjournment be taken not later than 10.30. We may not sit very late, but we want to get through as much of the legislative programme on the Paper as possible.
