Private Business. - The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (Charters Amendment) Bill 2002: Second Stage.
This is a technical Bill which attempts to bring together in one consolidated legislative measure the governance of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. There is an obligation on us to pass it, having deliberated on it on Committee Stage. I understand a joint committee will bring it forward in the coming weeks. I offer my party's imprimatur to support its aims and objectives and give it the swiftest possible passage through this and the other House. As Senator Glynn said, its essence is not just consolidation but the establishment of new categories of membership which are important because they fit into the categories of membership between colleges on these islands.
