I will read the notice for the information of the Chair on amendments which have been ruled out of order. Amendments Nos. 1, 3, 13, 15 to 18, inclusive, 23, 27, 58, 62, 64, 69 and 71 in the name of Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn; amendments Nos. 28, 29, 34, 36, 38, 41, 42, 52 and 54 in the names of Deputies Pádraig Mac Lochlainn, Ruth Coppinger, Paul Murphy and Joe Higgins; amendments Nos. 44, 49 and 51 in the names of Deputies Pádraig Mac Lochlainn, Ruth Coppinger, Paul Murphy, Joe Higgins, Clare Daly and Mick Wallace propose to delete all sections from the Bill, apart from section 26 which amends the Debtor Act (Ireland)1872, to remove references to the imprisonment of debtors for non-payment of debt and to amend the Long Title, accordingly. The amendments form a composite proposal which negates two of the central planks of the Bill and must, therefore, be ruled out of order on the basis that they are in conflict with the principle of the Bill as read a Second Time, in accordance with Standing Order 131.
