Mr. Norton:
I ask that leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make further and better provision for the purchase by the tenants thereof of cottages and plots provided under the Labourers Acts, 1883 to 1937, and for that purpose to amend the Labourers Act, 1936 (No. 34 of 1936) in certain particulars.
Minister for Local Government and Public Health (Mr. O Ceallaigh):
I oppose.
[392]An Ceann Comhairle:
This Bill, therefore, will be put down for Private Deputies' time.
General Mulcahy:
When will it be taken?
An Ceann Comhairle:
That is a matter on which the Standing Order is not explicit, since what is before the House is really only a motion that leave be granted to introduce a Bill. However, I suggest that the motion might be taken as soon as the motion in Private Deputies' time now under discussion has concluded.
Mr. Norton:
If that is agreed generally, in the circumstances, I am prepared to accept that.
An Ceann Comhairle:
The Deputy has no option in the matter.
Mr. Norton:
I submit I have by allowing this to go to a vote.
An Ceann Comhairle:
This is a Private Deputy's motion and therefore if even one Deputy opposes, the motion must go to Private Deputies' time without a division. It will be moved as soon as what is styled the Agricultural Motion has concluded.
