I do not think it would be worth while taking this in the time that is available.
PUBLIC SAFETY (POWERS OF ARREST AND DETENTION) TEMPORARY BILL, 1923. - CIVIL SERVICE REGULATIONS (No. 2) BILL, 1923.—FROM THE SEANAD.
If the Minister's proposals are being opposed, he would not get very far before 7 o'clock.
In that case, I move that the matter be postponed until the first day on which the Dáil meets next week.
May I suggest, with all deference, that when this is brought forward in the next Order Paper, that in addition to the motion by the Minister for Finance—"That the Dáil do not agree with the Seanad in Amendment No. 1"—that the amendment might be printed on the same Paper as the Minister's motion.
May I further suggest that as the Seanad made more than one amendment the Minister should indicate what course he proposes to take with regard to the remaining amendments?
I propose to suggest to the Dáil to agree with the remaining amendments.
My suggestion simply was that wherever the Seanad amendments appear that the Minister's motions, respecting the same, should appear on the same Paper, opposite them. It would rather facilitate Deputies in following the business under consideration.
It has been the practice to print amendments, when there are a number of them, on a separate sheet. If Deputies think it would be a better method to put them on the Order Paper, that can be done, of course. I take it this Order is being postponed until the first day of the Sitting next week.
Agreed.
