Vol. 89 No. 13

General Elections (Emergency Provisions) Bill, 1943—First Stage.

I move for leave to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make, for the purpose of securing the public safety and the preservation of the State in time of war, provision postponing during the present national emergency the dissolution of any Dáil Eireann until after the members of the Dáil Eireann which will succeed it have been elected, and to provide for matters connected with or consequential on the matters aforesaid.

Leave granted.

It is proposed to take the Second Stage of this Bill on this day week.

Mr. Brennan

When will this Bill be circulated?

I hope about Saturday, but I am not sure.

Mr. Brennan

Does the Minister expect to be able to take this Bill and the last one together?

I take it that the Second Reading of the Bill will not be moved on Wednesday next if objection be offered, due to the fact that members scattered throughout the country may not have received their copy of it until Tuesday morning.

Second Stage ordered for Wednesday, the 14th April.
