As I stated last night, we are not opposing the principle of the Bill but we are opposing certain points in it that are unworkable. Despite the financial mess, we have come to the conclusion that the Minister is on his way out and much damage will not be done by leaving this go for the moment. I think that before they would bring in half-baked measures of this description the——
Committee on Finance. - Coast Protection Bill, 1956—Money Resolution (Resumed).
Debate resumed on the following Money Resolution:—
That, for the purpose of any Act of the present session to provide for the making and execution of coast protection schemes and to provide for other matters connected with the matters aforesaid, it is expedient to authorise:—
(a) the payment out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas, save as otherwise directed by such Act, of a sum not exceeding one-half of the costs and expenses incurred in executing a coast protection scheme confirmed pursuant to such Act (including the cost of the preparation of the scheme, all compensation and other moneys payable and all incidental expenditure);
(b) the payment out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas of the expenses incurred by the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland in giving effect to such Act and in the administration thereof.—(An tAire Airgeadais).
I would not sleep happy on that.
——financial aspects should have been gone into.
Question put and agreed to.
Money Resolution reported and agreed to.
