Section I agreed to.

SECTION 2.

Question proposed: "That section 2 stand part of the Bill."

Mr. P. O'Donnell

Is there any hope of making section 2 more intelligible?

Mr. Childers

I think the Deputy has sufficient knowledge of legal documents to understand it.

Mr. P. O'Donnell

I personally understand it after great difficulty.

Mr. Childers

It is really a section which refers to three sections of the Air Companies Act, 1960, and it does no more than I indicated on the Second Stage of the Bill. It does absolutely nothing more.

Mr. P. O'Donnell

I would like to see it in Irish.

Question put and agreed to.
