I move:

That, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, the Standing Orders of Dáil Éireann relative to Public Business are hereby amended in Standing Order 99 by the insertion of the following sub-paragraph after paragraph (3):

(b) In the absence of a Party Whip or member nominated to serve on the sub-committee, a substitute may be nominated to take part in the proceedings and shall be entitled to vote in the absent member's stead and to move motions and amendments in his or her own name.

Question put and agreed to.

My office has not been notified of them. Perhaps the Deputy will table them for Tuesday so that they will be in order.
