That is not the end. There are the remainder of the Estimates, a couple of Supplementary Estimates and a Quota Order. There is the Telephone (Capital) Bill which it is desired to have passed in this session because otherwise the Dáil might have to meet earlier in the next session. The money which has been provided would be exhausted by the end of October, but that is a non-controversial Bill. As far as the Local Authority (Temporary Reduction of Valuations) Bill is concerned, I think we shall have to leave it over to the next session, although it can be circulated so that people will be made aware of what is proposed. It looks as if the Veterinary Surgeons Bill will have to be postponed also. The Veterinary Council have seen the draft Bill and suggested some amendments which the Department of Agriculture are anxious to consider.
There are, as far as we can see now, three other Bills which it is desirable to have passed this session. One, to be introduced by the Minister for Local Government, can, I think, be accurately described as the Cork Opera House Bill. There is a technical Bill to amend the Acquisition of Land (Assessment of Compensation) Bill, and the Minister for Industry and Commerce is preparing legislation for the control of the design of drip-feed oil heaters. It may be sufficient to give that Bill a Second Reading. It is desirable, however, that those who trade in those heaters should be aware of what is intended. I should imagine it would be a non-controversial Bill and once it got its Second Reading, the other Stages would be a formality.
