As regards the Order Paper, it will be remembered that we arranged to take the Land Bill to-day. I suggest to the House it is rather important that we should try and get the Second Stage of the Land Bill over to-day. We could then take the Committee Stage on Tuesday or Wednesday. I think the best course for us to adopt is to sit until 1 o'clock and then to come back at 2 o'clock and finish the day's sitting.
Order of Business.

Does that mean that we are taking the Second Stage of the Land Bill to-day?
Cathaoirleach
Yes, certainly that has been arranged.
It seems to me a most extraordinary thing that in the midst of a number of comparatively small Bills and, practically, at the end of this part of the season, we should take the most important Bill of the year.
Cathaoirleach
This Bill has been on the agenda all the week and we have not reached it until now.
I agree with Senator Colonel Moore that this seems to be rather a quick procedure...
Cathaoirleach
What is it you want done, Senator?
That we should proceed until 2.30 to-day and then adjourn until next week.
Cathaoirleach
But the House seems to desire that we adjourn at 1 o'clock and resume at 2 o'clock. That is the course we have decided to follow.
