I move:
That the Bill be referred to the Dáil Select Committee on Social Affairs pursuant to standing order 95 (1) and paragraph 1 (3) of that committee's orders of reference.
Social Welfare Bill, 1996: Referral to Select Committee.
Question put and agreed to.
When will Committee Stage be taken?
The Bill is being taken in Committee next Wednesday and Thursday.
I read in the media that we are all going on a long holiday. An incorrect impression is given as some of us are keeping the House going by working next week.
Unfortunately, there are no journalists present to record this.
