The recommendations of the Committee are contained in the accompanying Schedule, which is divided into two parts. The first contains some new Orders of which the Committee recommend the acceptance. Some fresh subjects are introduced. Thus, rules are submitted governing proceedings prior to the election of the Ceann Comhairle in a new Dáil. A further group of Orders regulate the method of dealing with the motion to proceed to the next business. Two important financial rules are introduced: one imposing restrictions on the debate of Supplementary Estimates; the other enabling the general policy of a Minister in respect of a Department to be discussed without involving a particular item. Other Orders deal with the matter of constituting the House, and with the issuing of writs, and the receiving of reports from the Clerk. The second part of the Schedule contains some further amendments to the existing Orders. |

An 22adh lá de Mhárta, 1923, fuair an Dáil Teachtaireacht ón Seanad á iarraidh ar an Dáil mola le Có-choiste um Buanorduithe d'fhonn go n-aontófí agus go nglacfaí le Buan-orduithe chun teangamháil idir an dá Thigh do rialú. Dá dhruim sin do rith an Dáil an rún so:— |
On the 22nd March, 1923, a Message from the Seanad was received by the Dáil requesting approval of the Dáil to a Joint Committee on Standing Orders, with a view to the adoption of agreed Standing Orders regulating inter-communication between the two Houses. In consequence of this it was resolved by the Dáil:— |
|
“An Teachtaireacht ó Sheanad Eireann do chur chun an Choiste um Nós-imeachta chun pé ní is dó leo is fearr do dhéanamh ina thaobh.” |
“That the Message from Seanad Eireann be referred to the Committee on Procedure to take such action thereon as they consider advisable.” |
|

|
Tar éis d'úr gCoiste-se na tairisgintí sin do bhreithniú, do chinneadar a mhola don Dáil go ndéanfaí atharú ar Bhuan-ordú le n-ar ghlac an Dáil an 8adh lá de Mhárta, i dtreo go ngairmfadh an Ceann Comhairle Có-shuidheanna tar éis dul i gcomhairle le Cathaoirleach an tSeanaid. Cuid de sna nithe do pléadh níor réidhtíodh le n-a chéile ina dtaobh. Do haontuíodh tuille cruinnithe do bheith ann ar phuinti nár socruiodh. |
Your Committee, having taken these proposals into consideration, decided to recommend to the Dáil a change in a Standing Order adopted by the Dáil on the 8th March, whereby Joint Sittings will be summoned by the Ceann Comhairle after consultation with the Cathaoirleach of the Seanad. Agreement was not reached on some of the matters discussed. It was agreed that further meetings would be held on outstanding points. |

Is dó le n-úr gCoiste-se gur cheart na Buan-orduithe, sa mhéid go mbainid le Gnó Puiblí, d'fhoillsiú i bhfuirm leabhair agus iad ar an staid ar a bhfuilid fé láthair. Comhairlíd an Bun-reacht do chur ina dteannta mar go bhfuil a lán acu ních féidir a thuisgint gan an Bun-reacht do léigheamh. Molaid dá réir sin go n-údaródh an Dáil na Buan-orduithe do chur in eagar agus treoraí do chur leo agus iad do thabhairt amach sa bhfuirm adubhradh. |
Your Committee think that the present position of the Standing Orders, in so far as they deal with public business, justify their publication in book form. They suggest that the Constitution should be included, for many of the Orders are intelligible only by reference to it. They recommend accordingly that the Dáil authorise that the Standing Orders be edited and indexed and brought out in the form indicated. |
|
I dteannta an Chó-chruinnithe sin thuas, do chruinnigh an Coiste chúig uaire o chuireadar a dTuarasgabháil deiridh isteach. |
In addition to the Joint Meeting referred to above, the Committee met on five occasions since submitting their last Report. |
That report is signed by the Ceann Comhairle, and in the Schedule is set out the proposed new Standing Orders, or rather the new Orders that are suggested for the acceptance of the Dáil. The first group consists of four Orders dealing with the election of a Ceann Comhairle in the new Dáil. The first proposal in the Standing Order is: "On the first day of the meeting of Dáil Eireann subsequent to a General Election the proceedings shall be opened by the Clerk at the Table reading the Proclamation convening Dáil Eireann."
