I move:
1. That the promoters of every Private Bill which lapsed by reason of the termination of the last Session before the Bill had reached its final stage have leave to proceed with the Bill in the present Session of the Oireachtas.
2. That the Principal Clerk of the Private Bill Office shall lay upon the Table of the Seanad a copy of every such Bill, notice of the intention to proceed with which has been given by the promoters in the Private Bill Office.
3. That in respect of every Bill so laid upon the Table the proceedings on such Bill shall be formal in regard to every stage through which the Bill shall have passed in the last Session.
4. That no fees shall be charged in respect of any stage upon which fees have already been paid in a previous Session.
5. That all Petitions presented against any such Bill which stood referred to the Committee on such Bill in a previous Session shall stand referred to the Committee on the same Bill in the present Session.
6. That no Petitioners shall be heard before the Committee on such Bill unless their Petition shall have been presented within the prescribed time in a previous Session.
And that a Message be sent to the Dáil requesting their concurrence.
These motions are essential owing to the lapse of the Session.
