It is proposed to take No. 1 and to suspend the sitting from 5.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. and in the likely event of No. 1 not being completed by 8 o'clock, to sit tomorrow to continue it. Because next Wednesday is budget day, which puts a strain on the staff in the working of the Houses of the Oireachtas, it is not proposed that the Seanad should sit this day week, but it is proposed to call the House for this day fortnight, to take up the National Development Corporation Bill.
Order of Business.
Is the Order of Business agreed?
Would the Leader of the House tell us whether we will have the Land Authority Bill during this session? session?
When is it proposed to take No. 17? I understood it was to come in before the end of the last session.
All I can say at such notice is that I will make inquiries in regard to both of these items. I have made inquiries since the point was last raised about the Broadcasting Bill and have been assured that discussions were under way which would allow us to take that. I will now inquire whether they have been completed.
Order of Business agreed to.
