Before I start the Order of Business I refer to a matter that arose yesterday when Senators Manning, O'Toole and Costello requested a review regarding a Friday sitting. I am pleased to inform the House that due to the rescheduling of Dáil business late last Thursday evening, the Bill from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform that was to be taken in that House is not ready and therefore Committee and Remaining Stages of the Waste Management (Amendment) Bill, 2001, has been scheduled for Tuesday of next week. Senator Manning will recall I indicated to him last week that it was our intention to deal with the Sex Offenders Bill, 2000, next Tuesday but, as this Bill is not finished in the Dáil, that day is now available for the Waste Management (Amendment) Bill, 2001. The House will not now be sitting on Friday as was originally intended.
The Order of Business is No. 1, motion re sub-committee on the mini-CTC signalling project, to be taken without debate; No. 2, motion re sub-committee on the Abbeylara incident, to be taken without debate; No. 3, motion re Trustee Savings Bank Act, 1989 (Section 57) (TSB Bank) Order, 2001, with contributions of spokespersons not to exceed 15 minutes and all other Senators not to exceed ten minutes; No. 4, Waste Management (Amendment) Bill, 2001 – Order for Second Stage and Second Stage, with contributions of spokespersons not to exceed 20 minutes and all other Senators not to exceed 15 minutes. Business is to be interrupted from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. No. 19, motion No. 28, is to be taken from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Business, if not previously concluded, will resume thereafter.
