It is proposed to ask the Dáil to agree to the amendments inserted in the Seanad, and to take them now.
Agreed.
Lough Corrib Navigation Bill, 1945— From the Seanad.
The Dáil went into Committee to consider amendments from the Seanad.
I move that the Dáil agree with the Seanad in amendment No.1:—
SECTION 4.
At the end of the section the following sub-section inserted:—
"(2) The Board of Trustees may act notwithstanding one or more vacancies in their membership."
Question put, and agreed to.
I move that the Dáil agree with the Seanad in amendment No. 2:—
SECTION 14.
In sub-section (5) (a), page 7, paragraph (a), lines 1 to 12, inclusive deleted.
Will the Minister say what the effect of this amendment is? Is this a relief to local authorities in the matter?
No. The sub-section which was delected provided for the transfer to the Galway Corporation of certain bridges over the Eglinton Canal, now being maintained by the board of trustees. The deletion of the sub-section is not so important having regard to other provisions of the section which enable the road authority, the Galway Corporation, to make arrangements with the board of trustees for the reconstruction of the bridges if such reconstruction is required as a road improvement scheme.
Question put and agreed to.
Amendments reported and agreed to.
Ordered: That the Seanad be notified accordingly.
