I move that the Committee agree with the Seanad in amendment No. 1:
NEW SECTION.
Before section 10 a new section inserted as follows:—
"Every person who immediately before the passing of this Act was either a member of the staff of the Houses of the Oireachtas (within the meaning of subsection (1) of section 1 of the Regulation Act, as originally enacted) or an officer of the Houses of the Oireachtas (within the meaning of subsection (1) of section 1 of the Regulation Act, as originally enacted) shall on the passing of this Act become and be a member of the staff of the Houses of the Oireachtas and shall be deemed to have been appointed under this Act to a position corresponding to that held by him immediately before such passing."
I am asking the House to accept this amendment.
