A message has been received from the Dáil concerning amendments made by the Seanad to the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2017. The message has been set down on the Order Paper. The list of amendments made by the Seanad and considered by the Dáil has been circulated for the information of Members. The Dáil has not agreed to amendment No. 4 and desires that Seanad Éireann should not insist thereon. Senators may move, in respect of the original amendment No. 4, either "That the Seanad do not insist on the amendment" or "That the Seanad do insist on the amendment".

Senators may speak once only, except the proposer of the motion who has the right of reply. Any Senator who wishes to move either of the permissible motions may do so now. There must be a seconder for a motion moved by a non-Government Senator and the motion should be seconded immediately. The seconder may reserve his or her speech until later.
