Order of Business.

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

Business will be taken as on the Order Paper: No. 3 (Votes 52, 53 and 54) and No. 2, which will be taken at 6 p.m.

Might I suggest that 6 o'clock is a rather awkward hour? Perhaps the change over in business might be made at 6.30.

In that matter, I suppose the House will defer to the views of the Parliamentary Secretary in charge of the Bill.

Personally I do not mind if it is 6.30. That will suit me all right. But the Minister for Lands may have to go to the Seanad.

These Estimates may be finished before 6 o'clock.

Comment on this

If we are actually planning, it seems unreasonable to plan for a time when Deputies might be going to tea. Half-past six might be more convenient.

Except for the contingency that the Minister for Lands may have to go to the Seanad.

No Private Deputies' time will be allowed.

Then we change over at 6 o'clock?

If not sooner.
