SECOND REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PROCEDURE AND PRIVILEGES.

1. The Committee, having taken into consideration Standing Orders Nos. 123 and 124, decided that certain changes in the conditions under which any Standing Order or Orders of the Dáil would be suspended were desirable. They, therefore, recommend the deletion of the two Orders referred to, and the substitution therefor of the following:—

Suspension of Standing Orders.

123. By unanimous leave of the House, or, in cases of urgent necessity, of which the Ceann Comhairle shall be the Judge, any Standing Order or Orders of the Dáil may be suspended for the day’s sitting and for a specified purpose on motion duly made with or without notice: Provided that when it is proposed without notice to move that any Standing Order relating to the taking of any stage of a Bill be suspended such motion shall not be received by the Ceann Comhairle unless the request to receive it shall have the support of not less than half the Teachtaí who have taken their seats according to law. Teachtaí shall indicate their support by rising in their places.

2. Standing Order No. 125 in consequence would bear the number 124.

3. The Committee is continuing its deliberations.
