The Irish Government delegation's response on 2 December 1996, to questions posed by the International Chairmen emphasizes the importance of consensus in the political negotiations, while also recognizing the right of participants to raise significant issues. This right, enshrined in paragraphs 17 and 18 of the Rules of Procedure, allows for the tabling of motions, which should be exercised with consideration for the overall progress of the negotiations and commitments under paragraph 16. The delegation distinguishes between procedural motions, which should be addressed promptly without extensive debate, and substantive motions, which require adequate preparation time and should be debated at an appropriate time determined by the participants. The Chairman is responsible for determining the nature of the motion based on paragraph 25. The response underscores the need to balance the right to table motions with the participants' collective obligation to seek consensus and conduct business orderly. It also outlines the process for handling amendments to motions, ensuring that primary and secondary amendments are voted on in a structured manner before the final motion is put to a vote.
