Status of banking reform Bill
Senator O’Brien asks whether Senator Barrett’s Bill has been accepted, and the Chair clarifies that it remains at Second Stage and has not been formally accepted.
May I ask a question regarding No. 32 on the Order Paper, Financial Stability and Reform Bill 2013 introduced by Senator Sean D. Barrett? It was referred to earlier as having been accepted. While I would be happy if that were the case, was it accepted or has it been parked?

On a point of clarification, the Bill still appears as being at Second Stage, as Second Stage has not been concluded. Consequently, it remains listed on the Order Paper as being at Second Stage.

It has not been formally accepted as such.

That is all I wanted to know. I thank the Cathaoirleach.
