By your direction, A Chinn Comhairle, I present to the Dáil the Second Report of the Committee on Procedure, over which you presided.

That report is signed by the Ceann Comhairle, and in the Schedule is set out the proposed new Standing Orders, or rather the new Orders that are suggested for the acceptance of the Dáil. The first group consists of four Orders dealing with the election of a Ceann Comhairle in the new Dáil. The first proposal in the Standing Order is: "On the first day of the meeting of Dáil Eireann subsequent to a General Election the proceedings shall be opened by the Clerk at the Table reading the Proclamation convening Dáil Eireann."

I wonder would it meet the convenience of the Deputies better if we took the Report as read a second time, and went into Committee on the Schedule? I do not know if Deputies are desirous of discussing the Orders in detail.

I move that the Report be received and taken into consideration in Committee.

Is the motion, "That the Report be received," or "That the Report be received and discussed in Committee"?

I think it would be undesirable to discuss it in Committee to-day. Consideration of it should be postponed to another day.

Very good. Shall we receive the report for consideration to-day, and put down the consideration of the Schedule for the first day after the adjournment?

Yes.

I move that it be taken into consideration in Committee upon the first day after the Recess.

Agreed.
