Seven Seanad amendments to this Bill were dealt with in Committee yesterday. Two alternative amendments by the Minister for Finance were not moved.
CIVIL SERVICE REGULATION (No. 2) BILL, 1923.—FROM THE SEANAD.
Having discussed the matter and the procedure that ought to be followed in these matters, when we disagree with the Seanad amendment, I have come to the conclusion that it is sufficient to have indicated that we were prepared to accept some alternatives, if they were put forward by the Seanad. I will not move the alternatives that I would suggest myself.
The position is—with regard to the seven amendments of the Seanad to the Civil Service Regulation Bill, No. 2, five have been agreed to and two have been rejected in Committee. An amendment to the Fisheries Bill was rejected.
Question: "That the report of the Committee with regard to the Fisheries Bill and the Civil Service Regulation Bill be agreed to"—put and agreed to.
