The Water Services (No. 2) Bill is going through the Seanad at the moment. The Government gave a commitment that the legislation would be circulated to the relevant committees but this Bill has not been circulated to the Joint Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht. Will it be guillotined when it comes before the House next week? There is a deadline on this. The transfer of assets will happen on 1 January next.

That is a matter for the Whips.

Will the Tánaiste give a commitment that it will not be guillotined and that, if necessary, we will sit next Friday to complete the debate on the Bill and to give the Opposition time to go through it? It is major legislation.

I support Deputy Stanley. I understand from the Whips that all Stages of the Bill will go through the House on Wednesday and that it will be guillotined. The pyrite legislation will be guillotined on Thursday. We talked earlier about the appalling Fianna Fáil record, and rightly so.

Hold on a second. Nobody has seen-----

When the Tánaiste sat beside me on this side of the House, he used to lambaste Fianna Fáil for guillotining major Bills like the Water Services (No. 2) Bill and the pyrite legislation.

We are talking in a vacuum. Nobody knows what next week's business is yet.

I understand both Bills are being guillotined.

Will the Tánaiste answer the question, if he can? I do not know quite what the question is.

My understanding is that the Water Services (No. 2) Bill is in the Seanad. It is expected it will be completed in the Seanad early next week and that it will come into this House. The issue of the taking of the Bill in the House is something to be considered by the Whips.

Would the Tánaiste agree with it?

I have heard the submission which Deputies Broughan and Stanley have made about sitting on Friday and the Whips will consider that.
