I beg to move amendment No. 12, in page 2, leave out lines 35 and 36.
The amendment would simply remove the two lines of clause 4(3)(b) which state:
"that he is a member of the Seanad Eireann (Senate of the Republic of Ireland)."
It being seven hours after the commencement of proceedings, The Chairman, pursuant to the Order [this day], put forthwith the Question already proposed from the Chair.
Amendment negatived.
Clause 4 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clauses 5 to 9 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Schedule agreed to.
Bill reported, without amendment.
Order for Third Reading read.
Motion made, and Question put forthwith, pursuant to Order [this day], That the Bill be now read the Third time.--[ Mr. Dowd. ]
The House divided: Ayes 178, Noes 10.
