I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled Bill entitled an Act to recognise the meeting of the First Dáil and the Declaration of Independence made on 21 January 1919 and to provide for a “Declaration of Independence Day” to be held on 21 January annually and to provide for related matters.
