The committee resumes its consideration of the motion concerning the case of Mr. Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who died in police custody in Russia in 2009, who, after his death, is being prosecuted in Russia on tax evasion charges. On 6 March, Senator Walsh moved the motion which is before the committee. Deputy Durkan tabled an amendment to the motion and moved it at last week's meeting. Deputy Durkan drew attention to a word missing from the text and that correction has now been made. The Russian ambassador has provided a written statement of the Russian position to the committee but has not as yet responded to an invitation to meet the committee.

I will call on members who have moved the motion if they want to speak on this before we put the question of the amendment.
