As this is a Private Members' Bill, it must, under Standing Orders 84A(3)(a) and 141, be referred to a select committee and the relevant committee for this Bill is the Select Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government. Does the Deputy wish to move the referral motion now?

I move:

That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach pursuant to Standing Orders 84A(3)(a) and 141.

Can I clarify the committee to which the Bill is being referred? As an insurance Bill, is it not going to the Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach?

It is to be referred to the Select Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government.

Is that the ruling of the Ceann Comhairle's office?

That is according to the note I have here.

We can revise, if necessary.

Question, "That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government pursuant to Standing Orders 84A(3)(a) and 141," put and agreed to.
