[1496] Mr. T. MURPHY: I want to mention a certain matter in connection with a motion of mine which appears on the Order Paper, without at all suggesting what course the House ought to pursue with reference to this Bill. I think it, would be helpful if we had any indication as to how many more speakers there are likely to be on this Bill. We have had over forty already, and I feel that this motion of mine that has been partly discussed should be again brought before the House as early as possible. It has been on the Order Paper for the greater part of twelve months, and I would like to have some arrangement made whereby further discussion of the Bill before the House would be shortened as far as possible.

Major COOPER Major COOPER

Major COOPER: Is it not open to Deputy Murphy to move “That the question be now put?”

Mr. T. MURPHY Mr. T. MURPHY

Mr. T. MURPHY: I would not like to take that liberty.

AN LEAS-CHEANN COMHAIRLE Patrick (Clare) Hogan

AN LEAS-CHEANN COMHAIRLE: It is a matter that could be raised.

Mr. CASSIDY Mr. CASSIDY

Mr. CASSIDY: Are we to take it that there is to be no time to be devoted to Private Members' business?

AN LEAS-CHEANN COMHAIRLE Patrick (Clare) Hogan

AN LEAS-CHEANN COMHAIRLE: That is not so as far as I am aware.

Mr. CASSIDY Mr. CASSIDY

Mr. CASSIDY: I understood that from the President's statement last week.

The PRESIDENT The PRESIDENT

The PRESIDENT: I have not yet made up my mind on that.

Mr. MacENTEE Mr. MacENTEE

Mr. MacENTEE: That is a good suggestion to the President.

Mr. DAVIN Mr. DAVIN

Mr. DAVIN: He does not mean that.
