Private Business. - The Limerick Markets Bill, 1989: Joint Committee.

An Leas-Chathaoirleach

I move:

That it is expedient that a Joint Committee of both Houses be appointed to consider the Limerick Markets Bill, 1989, being a Bill entitled an Act to amend and extend the provisions of the Limerick Markets Act, 1852, the Limerick Markets Act, 1862, the Limerick Markets Act, 1872, and the Limerick Markets Act, 1921; and to enlarge the types of marketable commodites which may be sold in the Limerick Markets and to give the Trustees of the Limerick Markets power to decide the types of marketable commodities to be sold; and to give the said Trustees power to sell, lease, surrender or otherwise dispose of lands or premises which at any time shall in the opinion of the Trustees, not be necessary for the purposes of the said Limerick Markets Acts; to extinguish the tolls authorised by the said Limerick Markets Acts; to enable the Trustees to demand and take such tolls, stallage charges and rent as the Trustees may from time to time determine; to waive the application of the provisions of sections 36, 37, 39 and 41 of the Markets and Fairs Clauses Act, 1847 to the Limerick Markets; to repeal section XXIV of the Limerick Markets Act, 1852 and section 3 of the Limerick Markets Act, 1862 and to give the Trustees power to borrow at any rate of interest on mortgage such sum or sums of money which the Trustees may approve; to provide for the reasonable remuneration of the Auditor of the Limerick Markets and matters connected with the matters aforesaid.

Acting Chairman

Is the motion agreed?

On a point of order, so that I understand what happens next; we have now passed Second Stage here and it is being referred to a Joint Committee. Does it come back then on Committee Stage to this House or does it go to the other House?

Acting Chairman

No, I understand that Committee Stage is dealt with in the Special Committee that has now been agreed by the House to be set up representing both Houses of the Oireachtas and it then comes back on Report Stage.

It is a select committee; it is not a committee of the whole House?

Acting Chairman

The committee is representative of both Houses and it includes three Members of each House and the chairman.

That will be Committee Stage of the Bill and then it comes back on Report Stage to this House?

Acting Chairman

It comes back for Report and Final Stage debate here.

On a point of order, what is the selection procedure for the members of that committee?

Acting Chairman

I understand that the Composition of the committee is decided by the Joint Committee on Standing Orders.

Question put and agreed to.

Acting Chairman

A message will be sent to the Dáil accordingly.
