Perhaps I might suggest, having regard to the condition of business, the position as regards next week. We shall have to sit to-morrow; that is quite plain, when I understand the Minister for Industry and Commerce will be prepared to deal with the Industrial and Commercial Property (Protection) Bill, 1926. We cannot go into the Bill to-day. There are 60 amendments, but there are a number of other amendments that have not come in time to be printed and are, therefore, not on the Order Paper. By not taking the Committee Stage until to-morrow Senators will have the full list of all amendments on the Paper in time. I think it is, also, desirable that we should meet next week, and, possibly, it may be essential to carry over to a second day next week. If we met on Wednesday the second day would be St. Patrick's Day, which is a holiday, a day on which the House might not care to sit. What I suggest is that to-morrow we should adjourn until Tuesday next. The advantage of that course would be that if we did not finish our business on Tuesday next we could sit again on the following Wednesday, whereas if I convene the Seanad for Wednesday and we did not finish our business we would have to adjourn until the next day, Thursday. We need not come to any conclusion on the matter until to-morrow as to which course we shall take.
PUBLIC BUSINESS. - BUSINESS OF THE SEANAD.
