Might I ask, in connection with this Bill, whether the House could not take the Report Stage of it to-day. It should be law before the 30th June.
Betting Bill, 1929—Third Stage.
The Seanad went into Committee.
Bill passed through Committee without amendment.
The Seanad went out of Committee.
Bill reported without amendment.
Ordered: That the Report Stage be taken on the next day the House meets.
Cathaoirleach
As notice has not been given to take the Report Stage of the Bill to-day, I am afraid that we cannot take it.
What will happen if the Bill is not passed before the 30th June?
Cathaoirleach
As we have next week to consider the matter, I think we ought to be able to pass the Bill before the 30th June. For instance, if we take the Bill on Thursday next that would give ample time to have it passed before the 30th June. The Bill, I think, is not controversial, and if some Senator would hand in notice all the remaining stages of the Bill could be taken on the one day.
This is not deciding that we shall only meet on Thursday next?
Cathaoirleach
Not at all.
