Ivana Bacik (Independent)

I move:

(1) That, notwithstanding anything in the Standing Orders relative to Public Business, on Monday, 30th April, 2012 the Seanad shall meet at 12 noon and the following arrangements shall apply:

(a) Standing Orders 29 and 30 shall stand suspended;

(b) there shall be no Order of Business.

(2) The business to be taken shall be confined to the items set out in paragraphs (3) and (4) of this Resolution and accordingly, no other business shall be taken unless the Seanad shall otherwise order on motion made by the Leader of the House or such other Senator as he may authorise in that behalf.

(3) The Remaining Stages of the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2012 shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 6p.m. by the putting of one question from the Chair which shall, in relation to amendments, include only amendments set down or accepted by the Government.

(4) The motion for the earlier signature of the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2012 will be taken without debate on the conclusion of the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2012.
