Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

This is a Seanad Bill which has been amended by the Dáil. In accordance with Standing Order 118, 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 amendments made by the Dáil. This is looked upon as the report of the Dáil amendments to the Seanad. For the convenience of Senators, I have arranged for the printing and circulation of these amendments to them. The Minister will deal with the subject matter of the amendments in the group. I have also circulated the proposed grouping to Members. A Senator may contribute once on the grouping. I remind Senators that the only matters that may be discussed are the amendments made by the Dáil.
