I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend section 29 of the Child Care Act 1991, as amended by the Child Care (Amendment) Act 2007 and section 46(2) of the Child Care (Amendment) Act 2011 to deal with the application of the in camera rule under the Child Care Act 1991 and to amend section 40 of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 to deal with the application of the in camera rule in certain family law proceedings.

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

As Deputies Michael McGrath and Pearse Doherty are not present in the Chamber to introduce their Private Members' Bills - the Mortgage Resolution Bill 2013 and the Finance (Local Property Tax Repeal) Bill 2013 - I will move on to the Bill in the name of Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin. Perhaps we might leave the two Bills over until after the Easter break.

We will leave them until later in the day, if possible.
