Prohibition of Ticket Touts Bill, 1998: First Stage.

Mr. Shatter

I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to render it unlawful for any unauthorised person to sell, or offer for sale tickets for major sporting, musical or theatrical events for a price in excess of the officially designated price.

An Leas-Cheann Comhairle

Is the Bill being opposed?

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

No.

An Leas-Cheann Comhairle

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

Mr. Shatter

I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."

Question put and agreed to.
