Vol. 175 No. 14

European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Bill 2003: Motion for Earlier Signature.

I move:

That pursuant to subsection 2 of section 2 of Article 25 of the Constitution, Seanad Éireann concurs with the Government in a request to the President to sign the European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Bill 2003 on a date which is earlier than the fifth day after the date on which the Bill shall have been presented to her.

Is the motion agreed?

Is this motion being dealt with in the same manner as the previous motion dealing with earlier signature? Has the Order of Business been amended to allow this motion?

On a point of order, did the Leader of the House refer to the conclusion of this Bill on the Order of Business this morning?

She did and then directed for the Senators' information that Standing Order 139 allows for the motion to be moved without notice. Therefore, everything is in order.

Question put and agreed to.

When is it proposed to sit again?

Tomorrow at 10.30 a.m.
