Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

As I understand it, what was agreed on the previous occasion was that the question that Second Stage be taken would be put today. Is it not now proper that the House agree to take Second Stage now and, if such agreement is reached, proceed to the Second Stage debate? That is what we understand should happen and it is what the document circulated by the Government Whip seems to indicate. Will the Chair provide clarity on the matter?
