These are formal proceedings and the general principle of the Bill, as in the case of a public Bill, will be discussed on Second Stage. The report, a copy of the Bill and an explanatory memorandum on the Bill were circulated to each Member and copies are available in the Seanad office. The report is simply the decision of the Examiner that the Standing Orders relative to Private Bills has been complied with and that the Bill is a Private Bill. The next Stage will be Second Stage which must be taken first in the Seanad.
