Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

I accept that Deputies Ó Caoláin and Ó Snodaigh are not agreeable to the proposal. However, I am asking that other parties agree to the proposition that we devote one day only to Report Stage of the Bill on the resumption of the Dáil, following which the Bill will go to the Seanad. If that is not agreeable, for whatever reason, my proposal is that we conclude the debate on the Bill today and forward it to the Seanad for debate. Following amendment by the Seanad the Bill will return to this House for discussion.
