PUBLIC BUSINESS. - FORESTRY BILL, 1928—FROM THE SEANAD.

Dr. RYAN Dr. RYAN

Dr. RYAN: Before the Minister speaks on this Bill, I should like to say that we have not been notified of the amendments from the Seanad which the Minister proposes to take. I think it would be well if the Minister were to give us notice of the amendments from the Seanad that he proposes to accept, and then give us a few hours to consider them. Perhaps this Bill could be taken a little later in the evening.

MINISTER for AGRICULTURE (Mr. Hogan) MINISTER for AGRICULTURE (Mr. Hogan)

MINISTER for AGRICULTURE (Mr. Hogan): There are twenty-one amendments from the Seanad, and I propose to accept them all. I should say that three-fourths of them are drafting amendments. The only amendments of importance are numbers 13, 14 and 15.

Dr. RYAN Dr. RYAN

Dr. RYAN: Would the Minister be satisfied to take this Bill a little later to-day, because so far we have not been made aware of the amendments that he proposes to accept?

Mr. HOGAN Mr. HOGAN

Mr. HOGAN: Very well.

The PRESIDENT The PRESIDENT

The PRESIDENT: Would the Deputy indicate what position on the Order Paper this Bill should take now?

Dr. RYAN Dr. RYAN

Dr. RYAN: Perhaps after item No. 6.

The PRESIDENT The PRESIDENT

The PRESIDENT: I take it now that there is a fair understanding that doing what the Deputy suggests will not be regarded as an opportunity for presenting such obstacles as regards the consideration of item No. 6 that we will not be able to get over it to-day in order to reach the Forestry Bill?

Dr. RYAN Dr. RYAN

981

Dr. RYAN: That is not my intention. I do not know what is going to happen to item No. 6. I would be satisfied [981] if the business under consideration at 6 or 7 o'clock were interrupted for the purpose of taking the Forestry Bill.

The PRESIDENT The PRESIDENT

The PRESIDENT: Very good.
