I feel it is absolutely necessary that we should have an explanation. This order is a document of twenty-three pages, and it proposes to re-enact, under different forms, a certain Act setting up the Cobh Gas Company, giving them certain rights and privileges. It is completely altering, as far as I can gather, the conditions under which this gas supply is continued. It seems to me when such an order is proposed to be made the people of Cobh should have the opportunity of making any objection or criticism they may have to make. They should, at least, be made aware of the fact that the order is about to be made. The Seanad, before it approves of such an order, should give the people of Cobh the opportunity of declaring themselves on the matter. This is very like the passing of a Private Bill. We have laid down very strict regulations and rules regarding the passage of Private Bills. I do not think it is necessary we should go through all that procedure, but there is something involved in an order which takes twenty-three pages of closely printed matter to explain itself. I do not think the Seanad should be asked to pass this without giving an opportunity to the people concerned to express themselves, and to Senators to look over it and see if there is anything serious involved. We should not be asked to approve of this to-day, and to act in a perfunctory fashion in connection with the matter. I suggest that the motion should be left over for consideration until Wednesday next.
