It is not proposed to take Private Deputies' business this evening.
Order of Business.
Could the Minister for Local Government inform us when the official amendments to the Greater Dublin Bill will be circulated?
They will reach Deputies to-morrow morning.
Is it the Minister's intention to take the Bill this day week?
To-morrow week.
As Deputies have been waiting for the official amendments before putting down their own amendments, it might not be possible to have them in in time for to-morrow week. If that is so, perhaps the Bill could be postponed.
If any situation such as that arises we can make arrangements to meet it.
When is it proposed to take the Finance Bill?
It is proposed to take the Report Stage of the Resolutions to-morrow. I think it would be a week before the Finance Bill could be circulated. We would probably take the Second Reading in a fortnight.
