We will resume in public session on the motion on Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who died in police custody in 2009 and who, after his death, is being prosecuted on charges of tax evasion.
Let us return to 6 March. Senator Walsh tabled a motion, which is before the committee. Deputy Durkan tabled an amendment to it and moved it on 17 April. Following discussion at the last meeting, I asked Deputies Eric Byrne and Maureen O'Sullivan to re-examine the situation. They have drafted a second motion, which has been circulated to members. We will discuss the three proposals together, but the motion from Deputies Byrne and O'Sullivan may not be moved until Senator Walsh's motion and Deputy Durkan's amendment have been dealt with.
