Order of Business.

Comment on this

I understand the Government wanted accommodation with regard to the time.

Comment on this
Seán MacEntee Minister for Local Government and Public Health (Mr. MacEntee) Fianna Fáil

Yes, we are anxious to get No. 2 to-day.

Comment on this

Nos. 3 and 2.

Comment on this

Could the Minister for Justice say how long he will take to reply to the discussion on the Intoxicating Liquor Bill?

Comment on this
Gerald Boland Minister for Justice (Mr. Boland) Fianna Fáil

I shall be as brief as possible. The most I would want would be half an hour. Perhaps twenty minutes would be sufficient, but I do not think it would be extravagant to ask for half an hour. I should like to answer some of the points made. There were a great number of points made.

Comment on this

We could take No. 2 at half-past one.

Comment on this

At 12 o'clock.

Comment on this

Would it be agreeable to the House to take No. 2 first?

Comment on this
Mr. Boland

I should like to get time to reply to-day.

Comment on this

Will No. 2 take long?

Comment on this

Will it take two hours?

Comment on this

It might.

Comment on this

If it took two hours it might mean that the Second Stage of the Intoxicating Liquor Bill could not be finished to-day.

Comment on this

Could we not finish with the Intoxicating Liquor Bill by 12 o'clock?

Comment on this
Mr. Boland

I think we should conclude the debate on the Intoxicating Liquor Bill to-day.

Comment on this

What is No. 2?

Comment on this

The Supplementary Estimate for £100,000.

Comment on this

Will you take that first?

Comment on this

Yes.

Comment on this
Frank Fahy An Ceann Comhairle Fianna Fáil

No. 2 to be concluded by 12 o'clock, noon.

Comment on this

Have you any information as to the number of likely speakers on the Intoxicating Liquor Bill?

Comment on this

They should be exhausted now.

Comment on this
Frank Fahy An Ceann Comhairle Fianna Fáil

Twenty-eight Deputies have already spoken on the Bill.

Comment on this

Do the different Parties know how many of their members wish to speak?

Comment on this

We are finished on this stage, anyway.

Comment on this
Frank Fahy An Ceann Comhairle Fianna Fáil

It is therefore agreed to conclude the discussion on No. 2 at 12 o'clock, noon.

Comment on this

When Deputy Davin got up to speak a number of Deputies also rose. If these Deputies intend to speak, I do not know how we can finish at 12.

Comment on this

No. 3 will be concluded too, allowing 20 minutes for the Minister for Justice to reply.

Comment on this
Frank Fahy An Ceann Comhairle Fianna Fáil

No. 2 will be concluded at 12 o'clock, noon, and No. 3 by 2 o'clock, giving the Minister at least 20 minutes to reply. Is that generally agreed?

Agreed.
