The Seanad is expected to sit next week to pass the State airports bill providing for the break-up of Aer Rianta.
The Bill passed all stages in the Dail this evening.
Earlier, the leader of the Seanad, Mary O'Rourke, said that there would not be enough time to pass the legislation through the Upper House before the summer recess started on Thursday.
However, following consultations with the Taoiseach, Senator O'Rourke will ask senators to delay their holidays to deal with the bill next week.
