Vol. 13 No. 12

SHOP HOURS (DRAPERY TRADES, DUBLIN AND DISTRICTS) (AMENDMENT) BILL. - CIVIL SERVICE REGULATION (AMENDMENT) BILL, 1925—FOURTH STAGE.

Amendment No. 1 not moved.

I beg to move:—

In page 2 to add at the end of Section 2 a new sub-section as follows:—

"(3) Sub-section (4) of Section 4 of the principal Act shall apply to every regulation made by the Commissioners confining an examination to members of a particular sex as fully as if such regulation were a special regulation."

This amendment is moved in accordance with the promise given by the Minister when the Bill was in Committee. The effect of it is that no examinations shall be confined to one sex unless a special regulation for the purpose has been laid on the tables of both Houses at least one month before the examination, in accordance with sub-section (4) of Section 4 of the principal Act.

I would like if the Minister would be willing to go into Committee, that we should do so, for the purpose of discussing these amendments. They are of some substance, and it would probably be more convenient if that method were adopted.

I have no objection.

Then the Dáil goes into Committee on amendments 2, 3, 4 and 5.
