I welcome the Minister for Finance and his officials. The purpose of the meeting is to consider the Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013 which was referred to the select sub-committee by Dáil Éireann on 13 November. The sub-committee is required by the Dáil to report on its consideration of the Bill not later than Thursday, 28 November. The times by which the sub-committee must complete its consideration of specified groups of sections and the amendments addressed to these sections are determined by an allocation of time order made by the Dáil on 21 November. The order of the Dáil provides that any division claimed on the proceedings of the Bill must be postponed until immediately before the time set for the relevant guillotine or, if proceedings conclude before the time for the guillotine is reached, on completion of those proceedings. The putting of any question contingent on a postponed division must similarly be postponed.
