Vol. 486 No. 2

Asylum Seekers (Regularisation of Status) Bill, 1998: First Stage.

Ms McManus

I move:

"That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to regularise the status of asylum seekers in the State."

An Ceann Comhairle

Is this Bill opposed?

Minister of State at the Department of Defence (Mr. S. Brennan)

No.

Question put and agreed to.

An Ceann Comhairle

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, the Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

Ms McManus

I move: "That Second Stage be taken in Private Members' time."

Question put and agreed to.
