How a Bill becomes law
- A TD or Senator files the Bill with the Filing Office, which checks it is in order and assigns a number.
- The Bill is debated and voted on in the House where it was introduced, then sent to the other House.
- The Seanad may pass, amend or delay a Bill; it cannot block one passed by the Dáil indefinitely.
- Once passed by both Houses, the Bill is presented to the President for signature. When signed it becomes an Act.
