BILL NO 8
Explanatory Memorandum
The Psalter from Common Worship - Services and Prayer for the

Although not required by the Bill it is intended to print the
Psalter with the pointing published in 2002 by the Royal School of
Church Music. However this will not exclude various other ways of
using the psalms in the worship of the Church of Ireland.
