Vol. 942 No. 2

Protection of Life During Pregnancy (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members]

The following motion was moved by Deputy Bríd Smith on 7 March 2017:
"That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
Debate resumed on amendment No. 1:
1. To delete all words after “That” and substitute the following:
“Dáil Éireann declines to give the Protection of Life During Pregnancy (Amendment) Bill 2017 a second reading in order that the Citizens’ Assembly, established by Resolutions of Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann, can conclude its deliberations on the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland prior to further consideration of potential legislative change including to the existing penalties set out in the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013, and report to the Oireachtas (or to an Oireachtas Committee) in the first half of 2017.”
-(Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy)

I must now deal with a postponed division relating to Second Stage of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy (Amendment Bill) 2017, which took place on Tuesday, 7 March 2017. On the question, "That the amendment be made", a division was claimed and, in accordance with Standing Order 70(2), that division must be taken now.
