I will withdraw the amendment. Section 5(3) states that "the Taoiseach shall cause a copy of any order containing a declaration of incompatibility to be laid before each House of the Oireachtas within the next 21 days on which that House has sat after the making of the order", but I do not believe that will be possible in certain cases. It can take six weeks for an order to be drawn up and perfected. The purpose of this amendment is not to include unnecessary procedures in this section, but to make it workable.
