Séamus Pattison (Carlow-Kilkenny, Labour)

The Whips' document is not a House document. The Order Paper is the correct document. The Bill is down for Second Stage and the business of today and tomorrow was set by the allocation of time resolution passed by the Dáil on 8 April last. That provision provided for the times of the sittings and the business to be taken, namely, the Twenty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2004 — Second Stage. It has already been decided to take Second Stage. I call on the Minister to propose the Second Reading.
