Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed)
9:55 pm
John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
While I do not dispute that these amendments, when tabled, were all in order, they were contingent on one another and were taken in a particular sequence. It seems to me - and this is a ruling for the Ceann Comhairle to make - that once amendment No. 8, which restricted the number to 13 as per the original Bill and did not permit the commission to number 17, was carried, the other amendments subsequent to and consequent on that should not have been put. There is no facility to put them. They are contingent on one another.
