I move:

"That Standing Order 94A of the Standing Orders relative to Public Business is hereby amended by the substitution of the following paragraph for paragraph (6):

'(6) The Standing Committee shall consist of nine members of Seanad Éireann and shall include the Party/Group Leaders or Whips, where feasible. In the absence of a Senator nominated to serve on the Committee the provisions of Standing Order 79 shall apply. The quorum of the Joint Committee shall be five, of whom at least one shall be a member of Dáil Éireann and one a member of Seanad Éireann. The Joint Committee shall include at least one member of the Commission (whether Deputy or Senator). The Chairman of the Joint Committee shall be a member of Dáil Éireann.'.".

Question put and agreed to.
