Second Attempt

On the motion of Mr. K. O'Brien, who vacated the chair for the occasion, the meeting went into committee. Four minutes silent prayer. The meeting emerged from committee. No progress was reported.

Mr. Butchers then proposed a new amendment, not dissimilar to the first. This was seconded significantly by Mr. M. O'Brien, and pat immediately, being lost by 31-87.

Then the motion itself was put (10 p.m.), and carried on an overwhelming voice.
