Tellers: Tá, Deputies Hanafin and Kelleher; Níl, Deputies Durkan and Stagg.
Question declared carried.
The Bill is read a Second Time in accordance with Standing Order 119(2)(i).
Now that the Government has won the vote does that mean we can start Second Stage?
No, Deputy, we are moving on to No. 10, motion re referral to joint committee of proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of a Council decision establishing the European refugee fund for the period 2005-10.
We had Second Stage last week and voted on it today?
On a point of order, what happens to the Bill now?
Under Standing Order 120(1), when a Bill has been read a Second Time it may either be ordered to be taken in committee of the whole Dáil on a day named or referred to a select committee. That is a matter for the Government.
The dual option.
It has not been.
There is no proposal before the House. I understand there will be one tomorrow.
