Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

On the manner in which the House orders its business, if that is the intention, how is it proposed to do so? The Bill has not yet come before the House for its Second Stage debate and another Bill from the relevant Department is before the committee which will consider it. Only a quarter of the amendments for the latter were considered yesterday. Can the Tánaiste explain how, in terms of ordering the business of the House and its committees, it is intended to have the Building Societies (Amendment) Bill passed?
