Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

In light of the position outlined by Deputy Kenny and the response of the Tánaiste, pending delivery on the Government commitment to legislative action, I will postpone moving First Stage of this Bill.

I do not wish to move First Stage now, but wish to leave it on the Order Paper so that if we do not get the promised action we can move it.

Agreed.
