I propose the following draft report:
The Select Committee has considered the Bill and made amendments thereto. The Bill, as amended, is reported to the Dáil.
Is that agreed?
Report agreed to.
Ordered to Report to the Dáil accordingly.
Report of Select Committee.
I thank the Minister and his officials; I also thank the Members for a lengthy, fair and honest debate on Committee Stage of this Bill. I congratulate them on the standard of debate during the Bill, which I hope will strengthen this legislation when it goes to its Remaining Stages in the Dáil and Seanad.
Chairman, I thank you for your patience, your staff for organising the work of the committee, and our colleagues for participating, to make this a better Bill. I hope we deal with it in further detail on Report Stage.
Thank you, Minister. We were due to meet on this Bill on Friday; as we now have concluded that business it is not necessary to do so.
When is it proposed to take Report Stage?
That will be decided by arrangement with the Whips but it will be next week, if possible.
The Select Committee adjourned at 5.45 p.m.
