David Norris (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 3, line 26, after “Oireachtas.” to insert the following: “A copy of the report will at the same time be made available to the public on the Government of Ireland website and the Government Publications Office.”.

I am concerned that we have not received a list of the groupings of amendments and it would be helpful to have one. I certainly did not get one. Some Members did and others did not. I have not got one yet.

We have in the past few minutes got a list of the amendments that have been ruled out of order. The list was incomplete and only the Senators who sent in the amendments were told their amendments were out of order. We do not have a comprehensive list.

Amendment No. 75 is in my name. It has been ruled out of order under Standing Order 41 of the House because it created a charge on the Exchequer. I have been contacting the responsible groups to complain about this for the past number of years. There is a feeling around the House that this Standing Order should be got rid of. I would like to ask the Leas-Chathaoirleach to ensure that this matter is taken up speedily and resolved.
