Is there any opposition to the motion?

Professor THRIFT

Might it be put down for Tuesday?

AN CEANN COMHAIRLE

If Deputy Thrift opposes the motion, yes.

Professor THRIFT

I understand that it is virtually giving approval of a Second Reading to the Bill. I am not satisfied that it ought to go through without some discussion, and I suggest that it be put down for Tuesday.

Objection taken. Order that the motion be taken on Tuesday, 1st March.

AN CEANN COMHAIRLE

Motion No. 2 will also be taken on Tuesday.
