I beg to move:—
Go n-aontuighidh an Dáil leis an Seanad ina Rún a cuireadh in úil don Dáil an 16adh lá de Mhí na Samhna, 1927, mar leanas.
That the Dáil concur with the Seanad in their Resolution communicated to the Dáil on the 16th day of November, 1927, as follows:—
1. That the promoters of every Private Bill which lapsed by reason of the termination of the last Session before the Bill had reached its final stage have leave to proceed with the Bill in the present Session of the Oireachtas.
2. That the Principal Clerk of the Private Bill Office shall lay upon the Table of the Seanad a copy of every such Bill, notice of the intention to proceed with which has been given by the promoters in the Private Bill Office.
3. That in respect of every Bill so laid upon the Table the proceedings on such Bill shall be formal in regard to every stage through which the Bill shall have passed in the last Session.
4. That no new fees shall be charged in respect of any stage upon which fees have already been paid in a previous Session.
5. That all Petitions presented against any such Bill which stood referred to the Committee on such Bill in a previous Session shall stand referred to the Committee on the same Bill in the present Session.
6. That no Petitioners shall be heard before the Committee on such Bill unless their Petition shall have been presented within the prescribed time in a previous Session.
This resolution proposes to deal with Private Bills that had reached a certain stage before the conclusion of the last session. Of course it is understood that Private Bills involve a certain amount of expenditure, and it is to prevent duplication of that expenditure for the promoters of the Bills that the resolution is put before the Dáil. Of course the stages which the Bills went through in the previous session will be formally gone through in this session.
