I must now deal with a postponed division relating to Second Stage of the Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023, which took place on Tuesday, 16 May 2023. On the question, "That the amendment to the motion be made", a division was claimed, and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members]
The following motion was moved by Deputy John Brady on Tuesday, 16 May 2023: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
Debate resumed on amendment No. 1:
To delete all words after “That” and substitute the following:
"Dáil Éireann resolves that the Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023 be deemed to be read a second time this day nine months, to allow for further consideration of the Bill, as the Bill as drafted raises specific practical and legal questions, is not likely to achieve its intended purpose and it is appropriate to consider in addition whether a combination of legislative and non-legislative approaches could be adopted which would achieve an appropriate human rights based outcome.”.
