Want to trace the steps from green paper, to oireachtas stages, to presidential signature to statutory order.This oireachtas guide is pretty good, but its a bit hard to read with so many sub clauses. Basically bills go through 5 stages in the first mostly starting in the Dail and then repeating the steps in the second house the Seanad.
I started a bundle of links here http://bitly.com/n8o6OC
If you know of any others guides that are already written that would be great. I have a rough flow chart
The oireachtas produced this video to explain it
