Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

I am glad the Minister has deigned to advise the House about the reason for this mysterious process. Since I last spoke on the Bill I have received a second additional list of amendments. This is in addition to the seven or eight lists of amendments that have been given to me since this morning. It is objectionable, now that we have commenced the debate on Report Stage, to have even more amendments foisted on us which we will have no time to consider.

Question, "That the Bill be recommitted in respect of amendments Nos. 4 and 14", put and declared carried.
