An Bille Toghcháin (Leasú), 1961. Teachtaireacht ón Uachtarán.

Tá teachtaireacht faighte agam ón Uachtarán á chur in iúl go bhfuil sé tar éis an Bille Toghcháin (Leasú), 1961 a chur faoi bhreith na Cúirte Uachtaraí, faoi Air-teagal 26 den Bhunreacht, féachaint an bhfuil an Bille sin in aghaidh an Bhunreachta nó in aghaidh aon fhorála dhe.

I have received a message from the President stating that he has referred the Electoral (Amendment) Bill, 1961, to the Supreme Court pursuant to Article 26 of the Constitution, for a decision on the question as to whether the Bill is repugnant to the Constitution or to any provision thereof.

Would the Ceann Comhairle say if consideration will be given to this matter during the present law session?

Within 60 days.

The Constitution provides it must be dealt with within 60 days.
