No. 9 is a motion re statement of Estimates for the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission. The Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Act states that this motion can be moved by a member of the Commission who is a Member of Dáil Éireann or, alternatively, by any other Member of Dáil Éireann nominated by the Commission. As a member of the commission and a Member of the Dáil, I propose to move the motion. I move:
That Dáil Éireann take note of the Statement of Estimates of money required in respect of ongoing expenditure for the period beginning on 1st January, 2007 and ending on 31st December, 2007 prepared and published by the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission in accordance with section 13 of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Act 2003, which was laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas on 19th October, 2006.
