Vol. 1 No. 16

CONSTITUTION OF SAORSTAT EIREANN BILL (COMMITTEE). - ARTICLE 20.

Mr. O'HIGGINS

I move Article 20. It reads, "Each House shall make its own rules and Standing Orders, with power to attach penalties for their infringement, and shall have power to ensure freedom of debate, to protect its official documents and the private papers of its members, and to protect itself and its members against any person or persons interfering with, molesting or attempting to corrupt its members in the exercise of their duties." The merits of this Article are so obvious that it is unnecessary to comment upon it.

Article 20 agreed to and added to the Bill.
