I beg to move the omission of the words "be handed in writing to the Clerk," in order to insert instead thereof the words "reach the Clerk in writing."
REPORT OF STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. - STANDING ORDER 16 (QUESTIONS).
"Questions must be handed in, in writing, to the Clerk not later than 3 o'clock p.m. on the second day preceding the day before that on which they are to be asked; but no question shall be handed in on a Saturday or Sunday, provided that questions relating to matters of urgent public importance may, by permission of the Ceann Comhairle, be asked on private notice to a Minister."
This is a proposal similar to one agreed to already.
Amendment agreed to.
