I think it may be of interest to the House if I were to give them an idea of what the business proposed to be taken during the course of this and next week is. To-day you have the Agenda, which speaks for itself. To-morrow we will take the Committee Stage of the Dairy Produce Bill. There have been about seventy or more amendments tabulated to that Bill, and, therefore, I have come to the conclusion that the available time at our disposal to-morrow should be devoted exclusively to the consideration of this Bill in Committee. That will exhaust the business for this week. On Wednesday next I propose that the House should take up the Second Stage of the following Bills:— The Intoxicating Liquor Bill, the County Court Appeals Bill, the Housing (Buildings Facilities) Amendment Bill, and probably the Public Holidays Bill, and the Seeds Supply Bill, which will presumably pass through the other House this week. The only one of these Bills that is likely to create a discussion on the Second Stage, I think, is the Intoxicating Liquor Bill. But I think there ought to be sufficient work for the Wednesday in that list that I have mentioned. I should then like to suggest that the House should go into Committee on the Intoxicating Liquor Bill on the following day—Thursday of next week. And if that is done, as I think the House may assume it will be done, I would strongly urge that Senators who are interested in the Liquor Bill and propose amendments should send them in to the Clerk on or before Monday next. The Bill has been in their hands for some time, and in any case they will have an interval between this and Monday, and I would urge upon them the importance of sending in their amendments not later than Monday, because it is desirable that other Senators should have an opportunity of seeing these amendments in print for some time before they are called upon to discuss them. I will not rule out, necessarily, amendments to the Bill that are not handed in by Monday, but I would ask Senators, as far as possible, to assist me, by furnishing them by that date.
I have to announce that in pursuance of our Standing Orders on the nomination of the Speaker of the Dáil and myself Senator James Douglas was nominated to be Chairman of the Joint Committee to which the Apothecaries Hall, Dublin, Bill, was referred by both Houses. I have also to report in connection with the same Bill that the Joint Committee have nominated the following Senators to serve upon that Apothecaries Hall Bill:— Senator Bennett, Senator Colonel Moore, and Senator Barnaville. I have to report in connection with the Dublin United Tramways Bill, 1924, that on the nomination of the Speaker of the Dáil and myself, Deputy Liam Thrift was nominated to be Chairman, and that in connection with the same Bill the Joint Committee nominated the following Senators to serve upon it:— Senator O'Farrell, Senator the Earl of Wicklow, and Senator Barrington. I have further to report that, in reference to the Dundalk Harbour and Port Bill, on the nomination of the Speaker of the Dáil and myself, Senator Jackson was nominated to be Chairman of that Committee, and that the Joint Committee nominated the following Senators to serve on that Joint Committee:— Senator Linehan, Senator Farren, and Senator George Nesbitt. I have also to report that, in connection with the Dublin and District Electricity Supply Bill, on the nomination of the Speaker of the Dáil and myself, Senator Samuel Brown was nominated as Chairman of the Committee, and that the following Senators were nominated to be members of the Committee: Senator Barrington, Senator Irwin, and Senator Sir Nugent Everard.
