That the proposal that Seanad Éireann approves the exercise by the State of the option or discretion under Protocol No. 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, to accept the following measure:

a copy of which was laid before Seanad Éireann on 6th December, 2011, be referred to the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality, in accordance with Standing Order 70A(3), which, not later than 24th May, 2012, shall send a message to the Seanad in the manner prescribed in Standing Order 73, and Standing Order 76(2) shall accordingly apply".
