Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Partition Negotiations.
You were not there?
Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Dublin County Council.
asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether it is proposed at an early date to afford the people of County Dublin an opportunity of electing a county council to administer the lo...
In view of the fact that this local authority has been suspended for a considerable time and that the members of it have no authority, will the Minister indicate when it is proposed to give the ratepa...
Do I understand that it is intended to keep the commissioner there until legislation is introduced to deal with the matter?
Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Acts.
Arising out of the Parliamentary Secretary's reply, I am sure he appreciates that a person who leaves his employment as a result of incapacity of a continuing character cannot be a contributor under t...
Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Provision of School Books.
asked the Minister for Education whether, in view of the increased cost of living and the difficulties experienced by parents in providing school books, he will arrange to provide school books free of...
Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Acquisition of Carlow Estate.

Order of Business.
Is there any business for to-morrow?
Suppose we get a good distance through the amendments is it intended to sit to-morrow?
If we get through a substantial number of the amendments to the Drainage Bill and carry over a small residue, is it intended to sit to-morrow to dispose of them? Is there any other business apart fro...
Then it is O.K. If we have only a small number of amendments over is it intended to sit to-morrow?
Transport (No. 2) Bill, 1944 — Fifth Stage.
The terms of this Bill demonstrate in a very convincing way how far the present Minister for Industry and Commerce has travelled and how circuitous his route has been since he told the House in 1931 t...
Why did you favour it in 1931?
What is the percentage?
Can you say what it was for beet, which is such a big item?
Arterial Drainage Bill, 1944 — Committee (Resumed).
A vast difference.
The right to agitate.
As I understand Deputy Cogan's amendment, it differs very much from Deputy Hughes's amendment, and from the arguments in which Deputy Hughes clothed his amendment last night. I gathered from Deputy H...
Will the Deputy look at the language he used with regard to his amendment?
I am referring to the amendment which the Deputy moved last night and where he talked about taking the power to initiate schemes out of the hands of the local authorities. The difference between this ...
The Parliamentary Secretary is too close to its activities to be able to measure the tempo of its progress but, looking at its activities objectively — and not offensively — a lot of us have some doub...
And if the Parliamentary Secretary does not do that, the county council can write to the local Deputies and get them to ask the Parliamentary Secretary in the Dáil why he has not drained a certain riv...
I am making the point that the local authority ought to have the right to kick up a row, but I do not want the county council to go asleep and, because it goes asleep, that there will be no drainage s...
That is what I would imagine. If the Parliamentary Secretary meets the case made by Deputy Cogan by saying they can agitate from 1st January to 31st December, I think that is an answer; but if that i...
It goes further than that.
Not at all.
This goes further than the right to appeal.
I move amendment No. 9:— In sub-section (1) (b), line 30, after the word “papers” to insert the words “including the provincial papers circulating in the district to which such drainage scheme relates...
But this is a very common form of amendment, and I am sure that if the Parliamentary Secretary will look up past legislation, he will find that this is a very common form of amendment.
I do not see why the Parliamentary Secretary should object to saying that the scheme must be published in a paper circulating in the area concerned.
Then why not accept the amendment? Why not ensure that that will be done?
So far as the Parliamentary Secretary or his Department is concerned, they can look up Thom's Directory, and, if necessary, they can publish the scheme in every one of the 56 newspapers that are publi...
May I point out to the Parliamentary Secretary that there have been similar amendments in connection with other Bills? As a matter of fact, I think that a similar amendment has been inserted in the T...
The Parliamentary Secretary would appear to be a most reckless Parliamentary Secretary.
Yes, Sir, on the understanding that we have the right to reintroduce the matter on Report.
