Teachtaireacht ó Roghchoiste - Message from Select Committee

Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

The Select Committee on Justice, in accordance with Standing Order 178, has agreed to waive the requirement for scrutiny on the Proceeds of Crime (Gross Human Rights Abuses) Bill 2020, following a request from the Member in charge of the Bill, and has recommended that the Bill should proceed to Committee Stage. At this point, can I formally move that the Bill moves to Committee Stage? The Deputy cannot move it, because there is nothing before me except what relates to the two messages.

We will check that, but he cannot at present. The Leas-Cheann Comhairle might come back to me on when I can move it. I understand that, but all I have are the two messages.

At this point, can I formally move that the Bill moves to Committee Stage?

CC Catherine Connolly

I am not sure that can be done at this point. I am simply reading out two messages. The Deputy cannot move it, because there is nothing before me except what relates to the two messages.

LAB Brendan Howlin

I was informed last night that I could. That is all.

CC Catherine Connolly

Maybe the Deputy is correct. We will check that, but he cannot at present.

LAB Brendan Howlin

It is urgent. The Leas-Cheann Comhairle might come back to me on when I can move it.

CC Catherine Connolly

I understand that, but all I have are the two messages. It is procedural at this point.
