Business will be taken in the following order, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 14, 7, 8, 9 and 15. Private Members' Business will be taken at 9 o'clock.
I should perhaps inform the House that it is proposed to adjourn on concluding the business of this session to February 10th. In that regard, I may mention for information that I had hoped to have the Bill for the establishment of an authority to operate television and broadcasting services before the House this session, but that did not prove to be possible. The intention now is to proceed by way of introducing it in the Seanad so that it will, I hope, be available to the Dáil when the Dáil re-assembles on February 10th.
It is, I understand, desired by the main Opposition Party to have an adjournment debate of 12 hours before the termination of the session. That will be arranged on tomorrow and Friday. It may mean in certain circumstances a motion to sit later than 10.30 p.m. tomorrow, but the intention will be to conclude the debate by 5 p.m. on Friday. When the progress of business today has been ascertained, a motion will be prepared for the Dáil tomorrow to facilitate that arrangement.
