Dáil Éireann - Volume 29 - 09 May, 1929 Private Business. - Arrangement of Business. The President The President The President: It is proposed to take to-day the Superannuation and Pensions Bill, 1929 (from the Seanad); the Housing Bill, 1929 (from the Seanad); my own motion in regard to disorderly conduct to the Chair; the Juries (Protection) Bill, 1929 (Second Stage); the Seanad By-Elections Bill, 1929 (Second Stage); and Estimates for Public Services. An Ceann Comhairle Michael Hayes An Ceann Comhairle: Is it the intention to fix a time for the consideration of No. 4 (Motion by Deputies de Valera and Lemass) now? The President The President The President: Not now. Mr. de Valera Mr. de Valera Mr. de Valera: What reason has the President for not dealing with No. 4 as arranged? The President The President The President: I did not anticipate that the Juries (Protection) Bill would have taken over a day to consider. Then the Minister for Industry and Commerce is away, and I thought he would be back to-day. Mr. de Valera Mr. de Valera Mr. de Valera: There was nothing contingent in the arrangement with regard to No. 4. It was definitely fixed for this day. I am not sure whether it was an order of the House. An Ceann Comhairle Michael Hayes An Ceann Comhairle: No; it was a private arrangement. The President The President The President: It was mentioned to Deputies that it would not be taken to-day. Mr. G. Boland Mr. G. Boland Mr. G. Boland: We were told that at 12 o'clock to-day. There was no option; we were simply informed of the fact. The President The President 1710 [1710] The President: I think it is only right to say that we did not get a firm objection. Mr. G. Boland Mr. G. Boland Mr. G. Boland: I took it as a fait accompli. If I thought there was any good in objecting I would have done so. It is extraordinary that the President thought the Juries (Protection) Bill would be passed through in an hour. He must have thought he was in a totally different House from that which he is really in. He will hear more about it too, and I will refresh his memory on a few points. An Ceann Comhairle Michael Hayes An Ceann Comhairle: Is it intended that No. 4 will be taken in the manner in which it is set out on the Order Paper on a particular day and in Government time? The President The President The President: Yes, and it will be finished in a day, either on Wednesday or Thursday. An Ceann Comhairle Michael Hayes An Ceann Comhairle: Assuming No. 4 cannot be taken, is it intended to take Private Deputies' business to-morrow? The President The President The President: No. An Ceann Comhairle Michael Hayes An Ceann Comhairle: Then Deputy O'Hanlon's motion will not be taken to-morrow? The President The President The President: No. Public business will continue to-morrow after 12 o'clock. Dáil Éireann 29 Private Business. Arrangement of Business. General Debate 19290509
