Ba mhaith liom an Tuarasgabhail seo do tharraig don Dáil. Níl ach cúpla rud ann. Uimhreacha a 10, a 14 agus a 16 agus táim cinnte go glacfaidh muinntir na Dála leis. I beg, formally, to move the report of the Committee on Standing Orders. As you see, there are not many changes recommended in it. In Order No. 10 there is a change made on the motion for the adjournment. It was made in order to meet the views put forward by Deputy Byrne. Notice must be given not later than 6.30 p.m. In Order No. 16, in reference to questions, they are now to be handed in at 4 p.m., on the second preceding day.

PADRAIG O MAILLE
Mr. WM. O'BRIEN
I second the motion.
AN CEANN COMHAIRLE
It was represented to me that our rule that the questions should be in before 3 o'clock involved a certain hardship on Deputies, coming to the Dail at 3 o'clock, who may before 4 o'clock find that they wanted to ask a particular question. Therefore, in Order 16, the hour has been made 4 o'clock. I think it will be for the convenience of the Deputies, generally.
Professor LIAM THRIFT
I move: "To substitute after the word `discussion' (Order No. 14) the words `of a matter which the Ceann Comhairle considers urgent and of sufficient public importance,' instead of the words `of an urgent matter of public importance,' and to delete the second sentence of the Order."
This is only a formal amendment. I think it does not read well as it is in the Order. The form of words I am suggesting is shorter, and, I think, equally clear. I believe the meaning is quite the same.
Mr. DARRELL FIGGIS
I second the amendment.
Mr. PETER HUGHES
It was put in the Standing Orders that when a member moves an amendment he should have some body of opinion behind him. The Standing Orders say, "provided he has the support of not less than twelve Teachtai."
AN CEANN COMHAIRLE
I think that remains.
Mr. HUGHES
I think it is being knocked out by the amendment.
AN CEANN COMHAIRLE
No; it is only the wording of the particular matter—"of an urgent matter of public importance," that is being changed.
Professor THRIFT
It is only the wording of the first two sentences.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. THOS. JOHNSON
There is a question I would like to ask in reference to Order No. 30:—"No motion shall be allowed to appear on the Agenda Paper to rescind any resolution of the Dáil within six months of the date of its adoption." Will that rule apply to any resolutions of the last Dáil?
AN CEANN COMHAIRLE
"Except with the written assent of not less than 25 members of the Dáil."
Mr. JOHNSON
Does this clause only apply to this Parliament?
AN CEANN COMHAIRLE
The Standing Orders only apply to this Parliament.
The Report of the Committee on Standing Orders was adopted.
