Oireachtas Library: Motion. Wednesday, 7 March 1962

Dáil Eireann Debate Vol. 193 No. 7 Page of 55

[1055]Parliamentary Secretary to the Taoiseach (Mr. J. Brennan):    I move:

That a Select Committee consisting of seven members be appointed to be joined with a Select Committee to be appointed by Seanad Éireann to assist and advise the Ceann Comhairle and the Cathaoirleach in the direction and control of the Oireachtas Library;

That the quorum be two;

That the Committee be nominated by the Committee of Selection.

Mr. Dillon:    Might I ask one question? Has it been habitual that the quorum of the Library Committee should be two?

Mr. J. Brennan:    That has been the usual procedure in the past.

Mr. Dillon:    It seems to be a very small quorum for a Committee consisting of 14 persons.

An Ceann Comhairle:    That is in respect of the Dáil membership only. The Seanad has a corresponding number.

Mr. Dillon:    I see; that would bring the quorum up to four.

Question put and agreed to.
