I move:
That, pursuant to subsection 2º of section 2 of Article 25 of the Constitution, Seanad Éireann concurs with the Government in a request to the President to sign the Offences against the State (Amendment) Bill, 1985, on a date which is earlier than the fifth day after the date on which the Bill shall have been presented to him."
The whole purpose of what the two Houses of the Oireachtas have been doing today would be negatived unless this House concurred with the Government in their request to the President that the Bill be signed tonight, thus enabling both Houses of the Oireachtas to play a part in remedying without delay the situation that has been met.
