We have received from the Dáil the Committee of Public Accounts of Dáil Éireann (Privilege and Procedure) Bill, 1970. I should like to know whether it is agreed to take it now. It should not take too long to get discussion on it completed and we could then resume the Order of Business.
Business of Seanad.
The Chair was not given notice of this matter.
My apologies to the Chair.
If the Chair has no objection, certainly we will not object to it. It might be convenient to dispose of it now; it should not take any longer than three minutes.
Is the House prepared, first of all, to agree to vary the Order of Business as decided this morning?
Yes.
Secondly, is the House prepared to agree to take this Bill at short notice? Has the Bill been circulated?
Yes.
To all Members?
I got it in the post.
I think the House is prepared to agree.
