Do I move these amendments that have been inserted by the Seanad, or what do I do?
Seed Production Bill, 1955—From the Seanad.
The Dáil went into Committee to consider amendments from Seanad Éireann.
Move that the Committee agree with the Seanad.
I move that the Committee agree with the Seanad in the two amendments proposed by the Seanad.
Mr. Lemass
The correct procedure, while I am not going to insist on it in this case, is that the Minister announces his intention in the matter and a date is fixed for taking the amendments.
I am obliged to Deputy Lemass but it has been my custom in 22 years' experience of this House to rest confidently on the advice of the Ceann Comhairle in regard to these matters of procedure. I propose to adhere to that practice.
Mr. Lemass
We do not object to it being taken now.
I move that the Committee agree with the Seanad in amendment No. 1:—
SECTION 4.
In sub-section (1), paragraph (c), line 8, "registered" inserted before "post".
Question put and agreed to.
I move that the Committee agree with the Seanad in amendment No. 2:—
SECTION 5.
A new sub-section added as follows:—
(2) Orders and regulations under this Act shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after they are made and, if a resolution annulling any such instrument is passed by either House within the next 21 days on which that House has sat after the instrument has been laid before it, the instrument shall be annulled accordingly, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done thereunder.
Question put and agreed to.
Amendments reported and agreed to.
Ordered: That Seanad Eireann be notified accordingly.
