Seanad Éireann - Volume 113 - 19 June, 1986

Business of Seanad.

Professor Dooge: I would like to recall for the benefit of Senators when we made the Order of Business this morning we indicated that if the legislation finished before 5 p.m. we would resume discussion of the Garda Síochána (Complaints) Bill, 1985 and, if further time was available, of the Air Pollution Bill. I pointed out at that time that in neither instance would the Minister be available [1114] to reply to the debate but that it would assist the House in moving along the business if some time were to be devoted to these Bills. I assure Senators that note will be taken of anything they wish to contribute during the discussion between now and 5 o'clock and that the Minister responsible in each case will have an opportunity of replying in person to the points raised.

I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Nealon, for kindly agreeing to remain on so that nobody is disturbed by a vacancy in the ministerial chair.
