I indicated last night that we would be taking items Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the Order Paper. Unfortunately, the Minister for Finance is engaged in Dáil Éireann on some Supplementary Estimates and, accordingly, No. 1 will not be taken.
No. 2 which is the Consumer Information (Consumer Credit) Order, is an order of the same Department, the Department of Industry and Commerce, as is item No. 4. Therefore, it makes sense that we should order our business so that those two items are taken in succession. Accordingly, my suggestion is that we take the business on the Order Paper in the following order: commence with No. 3, which is the Second Stage of the National Monuments Bill, and then proceed to No. 2, the consumer information Order, and then resume the debate on the report of the Joint Committee on Small Businesses.
It is proposed to suspend the sitting of the House from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., or at some convenient time depending on the speakers. For example, if a speaker finishes at 12.45 p.m. we should then adjourn until 2 p.m.
