Message from the Seanad:—
Tá Seanad Eireann tar éis an Rún so leanas do rith agus ba mhaith leo go n-aontódh Dáil Eireann leis:—
Go bhfuil sé oiriúnach Có-Choiste den dá Thigh do cheapa chun Bille Bhane na hEireann, 1929, do bhreithniú, eadhon, Bille dá ngairmtear Acht chun an Chairt fé n-a bhfuil Gobharnóir agus Cuideachta Bhane na hEireann ionchorparuithe agus na hachtacháin reachtúla le n-a rialáltar an chorparáid sin agus a Bane do leasú, agus chun tuille comhacht agus comhachta cile do bhronna ar an nGobharnóir agus ar an gCuideachta san Bhane na hEireann agus chun crícheanna eile a bhaineas leis an gCorparáid agus leis an mBane san.
Seanad Eireann has passed the following Resolution in which the concurrence of Dáil Eireann is desired:—
That it is expedient that a Joint Committee of both Houses be appointed to consider the Bank of Ireland Bill, 1929, being a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Charter under which the Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland is incorporated and the statutory enactments regulating that Corporation and its Bank, to confer further and other powers on the said Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, and for other purposes connected with the said Corporation and Bank.
We will not oppose this particular motion, but of course we reserve our full rights to oppose the Bill when it comes before us again.
This is a motion which is equivalent to a Second Reading. Of course the Bill will come on again after it has been considered by the Joint Committee and by the Seanad.
We will oppose the Bill when it comes before us again.
The Bill was introduced in the Seanad, and the motion for concurrence in the setting up of a Joint Committee is equivalent to a Second Reading of the Bill here. The Bill will then go from the Joint Committee to the Seanad and will come from the Seanad to us for its Fourth Stage.
Then in those circumstances we will oppose the motion now.
The motion is therefore opposed and it will be put down for to-morrow.
Ordered accordingly.
