International Protection Bill 2026: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2026-04-15
============================================================

Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

Before we start the debate on the amendments on the cream list, I draw attention to four errors of a formal or typographical nature that have been identified in the Bill following its passage through the Houses. Pursuant to Standing Order 203, I ask that the Leas-Cheann Comhairle direct the Clerk to make the following corrections of a formal nature to the Bill. I will set out those four minor changes.
First, in respect of section 117 of the Bill version as passed by Dáil Éireann, in page 97, line 30, I ask that the Clerk be directed to insert a missing comma between the words "State" and "without". Second, in respect of Seanad amendment No. 104 in subsection (1) of the inserted section 110, I request that the Clerk be directed to insert the word "in" between the words "referred to" and " section 109 ", so that it will now read as "referred to in section 109 ".
Third, in respect of Seanad amendment No. 111 in paragraph (f) of the inserted section 117, the cross-reference to " paragraph (a) " should read as " paragraph (d) ". I request that the Clerk be directed to correct this erroneous reference. Finally, in respect of Seanad amendment No. 258 contained on the first substitute list of amendments dated 14 April 2026, in paragraph (a) clause (ii) the cross-reference in the inserted paragraph (b) to " section 144(e) " of the Bill should read as " section 144(1)(e) ". I request that the Clerk be directed to insert this missing reference to subsection (1).
