I seems to me that it would, perhaps, be better, and I might save the Minister the trouble of rising to his feet so often on points of order, if I were to say at the outset with regard to this Money ...
It is quite clear, even though the Dáil does approve the principle of a Bill on the Second Reading, the Dáil is at perfect liberty at any time to throw that Bill out altogether.
The fact that the Dáil approves the principle of a Bill on the Second Reading does not mean that the Dáil is committed to pass the Bill merely because it approves the principle, or that the Dáil is pr...
I would like to get some information from the Minister regarding the question of cost. I would like to know how much of the cost does he estimate will be met by registration fees. Will the Minister ...
I am trying to show the reasons why this money should not be voted. I think I cannot convince the House that this Money Resolution should be rejected unless I can show Deputies that the voting of it ...
Even if it were, I want respectfully to submit that on a financial motion such as this it is impossible to give adequate reasons for its rejection unless one can quote very definite and specific cases...
What is a ton of ordinary good quality turf? It is two good horse-loads of turf, and we are told that people in this country want this Bill and are looking for it to enable them to get 5/- or 5/6 for...
I am saying that the people, who are now at liberty to get turf and realise 20/- a ton and, in some cases, as high as 25/- a ton for it by being allowed to sell it themselves, will be brought in and f...
I want to show this House what the position is. We are asked to vote for this Resolution on the grounds that that money is required to help the turf industry of this country.
This Money Resolution reads:— “That for carrying into effect any Act of the present session to make provision for promoting the more extensive production and consumption of turf for domestic and house...
Most of the arguments which I am now using were not used on the Second Reading.
I am making the point that my arguments are not merely a repetition.
The Minister knows about Friday morning. The Minister put across a few slick deals in this House in order to get Friday morning. He is most to blame for having this discussion on Friday morning. I w...
May I submit, Sir, that even on the Fifth or last stage of the Bill I am entitled to submit reasons why the Bill should not be passed.
I say even on the last stage. I do not want to waste the time of the House by going to the Fifth Stage if I can get the House to see that they ought to drop the whole thing now, as it is only a farc...
I should like to know something about the specified areas. I want to know whether it is going to be more costly to specify, say 12 or 20 areas, rather than have one area for the Free State.
The Minister's anxiety as to order is something to be admired.
I am entitled to get information as to the Bill and I know the Minister does not want to give it.
I do not think so, because these specified areas are mentioned in every section and run through the whole Bill. Then there is the question of the number of inspectors. Not only are we to have inspec...
I am afraid you will see that again when this Bill becomes law.
A surplus?
And cattle.
The less coal, the fewer cattle.
Exactly, and it might be six or seven miles away from the bog.
We are opposed to this Vote because it will not encourage the greater production of turf.
Certainly, and that is the reason why we are opposing this Motion.
What about the Minister's own Party?
Then God help the turf industry if that is so.
Hear, hear!
Where?
Would the Minister give the names?
Give the name of one.
Are there no bogs in Tipperary or Kerry?
Certainly.
Against 11/6.
I denounced it in Tipperary.
There will be some nice records to be dug up in 12 months' time.
