Standing Order 149: Motion (Resumed)
The following motion was moved by the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, on Wednesday, 20 July 2016:
"That, in accordance with the recommendation of the sub-Committee on Dáil Reform under Standing Order 107(1)(a), the Standing Orders of Dáil Éireann relative to Public Business be amended in Standing Order 149 by the insertion of the following paragraphs:
‘(3) The Committee Stage consideration of any Bill which falls within Articles 127(4) and 282(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (in this Standing Order referred to as a “relevant” Bill), shall not be taken by Dáil Éireann, or any Committee thereof, unless and until the outcome of consultation with the European Central Bank, as outlined in this Standing Order, has been reported to the Dáil.
(4) In the case of a relevant private member’s Bill, the relevant Select Committee under Standing Order 84A, shall–
(a) consult the European Central Bank and in so doing shall specify a time limit for submission of the Bank’s opinion to the Committee as provided for in Council Decision 98/415/EC (in this Standing Order referred to as “the relevant Council Decision”), and
(b) consider any advisory opinions received from the European Central Bank and report on such consideration to Dáil Éireann.
(5) In the case of relevant Government Bills, the outcome of the consultation shall be reported to the Dáil in the course of the Second Stage speech of the relevant Minister: Provided that if the report is not made in the course of that speech, the Minister may lay a report before the Dáil with the outcome of the consultation.
(6) Where the European Central Bank requests an extension of the time limit specified by a Select Committee, as provided for in the relevant Council Decision, the Select Committee shall give the request due consideration.
(7) Where the time limit specified by a Select Committee for submission of the opinion of the European Central Bank (or any extension of time granted by the Committee under paragraph (6)) has expired, the absence of an opinion from the Bank on the expiry of such time limit shall not prevent the Committee from proceeding with its consideration of the Bill: Provided that any opinion received thereafter shall be brought to the attention of the Committee and shall be laid before the Dáil by the Chairman of the Select Committee.’."
