Deputy-----

Continued interruptions mean we may not get three Members in today. I call Deputy John Connolly.

Is the Bill opposed?

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

In accordance with Standing Order 87, as the required number of tellers have not been appointed for the Níl side, I declare the question carried.

Before I call the Minister to open the debate, I remind Members that there are two separate motions being debated, namely, Financial Resolutions Nos. 1 and 2. They will be moved separately but will be debated together and decided by separate questions. I call the Tánaiste to move the first motion and open the debate.
