The Dáil motion calling for Mr Liam Lawlor to voluntarily resign reads:
"That Dáil Eireann having regard to the content of the motion passed unanimously by the House on 30th January, 2001, now notes and deplores the Deputy's continued failure to provide the co-operation sought by the tribunal, which was established by the unanimous decision of Dáil Éireann and regards such failure as confirmation that his membership of Dáil Éireann is untenable and is of the opinion that he should accordingly voluntarily resign his membership.
Dáil Éireann is aware of the contents of Deputy Lawlor's letter to Party Whips of 5th February, 2002.

The Dáil motion of January 30th, 2001 reads:
"That Dáil Éireann is of the opinion that, given the sentence of the High Court, structured as it was to elicit full co-operation within a definite time-frame and the fact that the judge referred to his membership of Dáil Éireann, that Deputy Lawlor should now fully meet the requirements of the courts and the tribunal or, that failure to do so within that time-frame would confirm his membership of Dáil Éireann to be untenable and that he should voluntarily resign his membership."
