(1) That the promoters of the Local Government (Galway) Bill, 1934, which was pending in the Seanad at the date of the passing into law of Constitution (Amendment No. 24) Act, 1936 (18 of '36), shall be at liberty to proceed in the Dáil with a Bill identical in all respects with the Bill which was so pending, without examination for compliance with the Standing Orders relative to Private Business;
(2) that notice of intention to proceed with the Bill shall be given by the promoters by depositing in the Private Bill Office a copy of the Bill together with a certificate signed by the Parliamentary Agent for the promoters annexed thereto stating that the Bill is identical in all respects with the Bill which was so pending in the Seanad;
(3) that on the day on which the Dáil shall next sit subsequent to such notice of intention having been given, the Bill shall be set down for an Order referring the Bill to Select Committee in pursuance of Standing Order 66 (Private Business), the Bill being deemed to have been introduced and to have passed its second stage;
(4) that no fees shall be charged in respect of any stage of the Bill when fees were already paid in respect of the similar stage in the case of the Bill so pending in the Seanad.
The Committee on Standing Orders considered the motion which is before the House, standing in my name, and concurred in it. The Bill referred to in the motion, the Local Government (Galway) Bill, 1934, had been committed to a joint committee prior to the abolition of the Seanad. The joint committee was not in fact appointed, as the promoters were not ready at the time to proceed with the Bill and no further steps in reference to the Committee Stage of the Bill were taken up to the date of abolition of the Seanad.
The promoters are desirous to proceed now with their Bill, but owing to the abolition of the Seanad it is considered necessary that the Bill should be introduced de novo, but it is suggested that the promoters might be spared the cost of advertising the Bill and the other expenses incidental to compliance with the Standing Orders relative to Private Business, and this motion was accordingly framed with that end in view. I beg to move the motion.
