I move:

That Dáil Éireann adopts the Report of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges regarding a complaint made under Standing Order 59 in relation to remarks made by Deputy Mattie McGrath on 14th June, 2012, during the course of the debate on the Second Stage of the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Bill 2012, which was laid before Dáil Éireann on 19th February, 2013; and taking into account that the Deputy was given ample opportunity to withdraw his remarks, is of the opinion that the remarks were irresponsible and constituted an abuse of privilege; and censures Deputy Mattie McGrath accordingly.

Question put and agreed to.
