I must now deal with a postponed division on amendment No. 1 to the Second Stage motion on the Social Welfare (Payment Order) (Amendment) Bill 2021, taken on Thursday, 24 February 2022. On the question, "That the amendment to the motion be made", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2) that division must be taken now.
Social Welfare (Payment Order) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members]
The following motion was moved by Deputy Claire Kerrane on 24 February 2022: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
Debate resumed on amendment No. 1:
To delete all words after "That" and substitute the following:
"Dáil Éireann, while acknowledging the relevance of the Social Welfare (Payment Order) (Amendment) Bill 2021 in the context of the current conditions in the child maintenance system, resolves that the Bill be deemed to be read a second time this day six months to allow for consideration of the outcome of the Child Maintenance Review Group, as its terms of reference include an examination of the liable relative provisions which the Bill seeks to amend.".
