Mr. BLYTHE

I move:—

Go ndeontar suim ná raghaidh thar £68,462 chun slánuithe na suime is gá chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31ladh lá de Mhárta, 1926, chun costaisí mar gheall ar Scoileanna Ceartúcháin agus Saothair, maraon le háiteanna coinneála (Children Act, 1908).

That a sum not exceeding £68,462 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1926, for expenses of Reformatory and Industrial Schools, including places of detention (Children Act, 1908).

The PRESIDENT

I would not press this Vote if there is any objection on the part of Deputies. I had an intimation conveyed to me that it was proposed to raise some points on this Vote. It might be more convenient to postpone it until next week.

Mr. O'CONNELL

I understand that the Minister for Justice was responsible up to quite recently for this Vote.

Mr. BLYTHE

Partly, and partly the Department of Local Government.

Mr. O'CONNELL

That would be different from the others?

The PRESIDENT

It would. If there is a request in that connection, I will hold it over until next week.

Mr. JOHNSON

In these circumstances, I ask that it should be held over.

Consideration of Vote postponed.
