Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

During Question Time I got a copy of the blacks that show what was said. When the Ceann Comhairle started the Bill, the Minister said, "I move that Second Stage be taken now." I opposed that motion and the Ceann Comhairle then went to put the question. He was then corrected on the procedure that was used. It would seem the Minister made a mistake in the motion she moved. Rather than saying that Second Stage be taken now, the motion should have been that the Bill be now read a Second Time.
