Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach, Deputy Tom Kitt. No. 2 is the Statute Law Revision (Pre-1922) Bill 2004, a Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil. In accordance with Standing Order 103 it is deemed to have passed its First, Second and Third Stages in the Seanad and is placed on the Order Paper for Report Stage. On the question that the Bill be received for final consideration the Minister may explain the purpose of the Dáil amendments and this is looked on as a report of the Dáil amendment to the Seanad. For the convenience of Senators I have arranged for the printing and circulation to them of those amendments. I remind Senators that only the Dáil amendments may be discussed.
