Order of Business
The Tánaiste proposes the day’s business, but the Ceann Comhairle notes that the Merchant Shipping Bill was already concluded; no proposals require a vote.
It is proposed to take No. 31, Merchant Shipping (Registration of Ships) Bill 2013 - Second Stage (resumed). Private Members' business shall be No. 55, Water Services (Exempt Charges) Bill 2014 – Second Stage (resumed), to be taken immediately after the Order of Business and, if not previously concluded, brought to a conclusion after 90 minutes.
Comment on this
Second Stage of the Merchant Shipping (Registration of Ships) Bill 2013 was concluded just before the Order of Business. The Tánaiste was not to know that.
