Today's Order of Business are items 1 and 2. It is proposed notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders that proceedings on Second Stage of the Regional Technical Colleges Bill, 1991, if not previously concluded will be brought to a conclusion at 12.45 p.m. with the Minister being called on to reply no later than 12.30 p.m. and that the Committee and Remaining Stages if not previously concluded, will be brought to a conclusion at 5 p.m. by one question which shall be put from the Chair and which shall, in relation to amendments, include only amendments set down from the Government. The proceedings on the Second and Remaining Stages of the Dublin Institute of Technology Bill, 1991, if not previously concluded, will be brought to a conclusion by one question which shall be put from the Chair and which shall, in relation to amendments include only amendments set down from the Government.
I suspect, and hope, that as the day goes on enough time will be available for everybody to have their say on these two Bills. On Tuesday night last I tried to extend the House for a short length of time to accommodate speakers as it was felt than that we needed more time. Yesterday my judgement was proved to have been right.
