Mr. Shatter:

I move:

An Leas-Cheann Comhairle:

Is the Bill opposed?

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

No.

Question put and agreed to.

An Leas-Cheann Comhairle:

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