| |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The Order of Business is No. 1, motion re the arrangements for the sitting of the House on Thursday, 13 December and Tuesday, 18 December, to be taken without debate at the conclusion of the Order of Business; No. 2, motion of referral of Fifth Programme of Law Reform to the Join... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I thank the Leader for outlining the Order of Business. I note his optimism that No. 7 might conclude before 9 p.m.[Horkan, Gerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I hope my optimism is shared.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I am always optimistic, although sometimes my optimism is misplaced.
We could not have a conversation today without discussing Brexit. The position seems to have gone from bad to worse again. Prime Minister Theresa May now faces a motion of no confidence and will not come to ... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Stepaside Garda station is reopening.[Humphreys, Kevin] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It is not open yet and it will not be anything like what it was either.
We need a much more nuanced and thorough approach on penalty points. We also need proportionality. We need to consider the idea of targeting repeat offenders differently from people who are caught for the... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] There are more people in work.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] There are more people in cars anyway because insufficient public transport has been provided. Buses in Dublin are full.[Horkan, Gerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I ask the Senator to reach a conclusion.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I also wanted to mention climate change, on which Ireland has been ranked the worst in Europe by a fair margin. We need to deal with this issue.[Horkan, Gerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The first thing I wish to mention this morning is that in the course of yesterday afternoon and evening, the Seanad reform implementation group completed its work. I hope to be in a position to circulate to the Taoiseach and Members of the Oireachtas the final text of our work w... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Then the Seanad can forget about it.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We have not seen it yet.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I want the Chamber to be constructive this morning.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] As this House is aware, there are two Houses in the Oireachtas. As it is likely that the Bill will be introduced in Dáil Éireann, we will have the views of the people's direct representatives on the matter before we get to see it in this House. In the end, the people of Ireland... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It may not.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It may not proceed, but that is what we are witnessing. While sympathy may go to a person who is battling for a particular position, nonetheless it should be remembered that Mrs. May has set her face against allowing the British people to have a final say in whether they do or d... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] As we watch the ever evolving crisis at Westminster, Theresa May facing a no-confidence vote in her leadership and the possibility of a no-deal Brexit increasing, we must prepare on that basis that we will have a no-deal Brexit. We owe it to businesses, families and every citize... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Well said.[Gavan, Paul] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Our business is to protect the rights of Irish citizens north, south east and west, as well as our diaspora. We must do this by holding rock solid on the agreed backstop as set out in the withdrawal agreement and by ensuring there is no return to the hard border. We must ensure... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] At least we have taken our seats.[McFadden, Gabrielle] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Let those in Fine Gael go up to the North and take their seats above. It is available to Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael or anyone else.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Let those in Fine Gael go up and stand in the North and take their seats.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Fine Gael is a partitionist party, a Twenty-six-Counties party.[Gavan, Paul] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We did not run in an election in the North.[McFadden, Gabrielle] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Speak through the Chair, please. Senator Conway-Walsh has the right to speak. Allow her to conclude, without interruption.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We did not run in an election in the North.[McFadden, Gabrielle] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] No interruptions, please.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Those in Fine Gael might have only discovered the Six Counties recently, but those in Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are free to go up to the North, get their mandate and take their seats at Westminster any time they want.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] If there are more interruptions, I will suspend the sitting for 15 minutes. We were here this morning until 3 a.m. and I want us to proceed.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It was 2 a.m.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It was closer to 3 a.m.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I think you are right, a Chathaoirligh.
I need to address an important issue today, as well as what is happening yonder. I refer to the ESRI report released yesterday showing that low-income households stand to lose most from the budget in 2019. The institute predicts that al... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I wish to raise the issue of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It is urgent for the Minister to meet a cross-party group as soon as possible on the matter. I acknowledge that the Leader has done everything within his power to try to facilitate this.[Humphreys, Kevin] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I want to raise the importance of the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition. It is coming up in January. Schools from throughout the country and which are in the localities of Senators are entering the competition. I sit on the Joint Committee on Education and Skills. ... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [295] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] In regard to Senator Humphreys's point on the coverage of the Oireachtas on RTÉ, I note that last night the deliberations of the Seanad went out live on Oireachtas TV all night until the sitting was finished. The most intriguing question was who was behind the screen with a phon... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [295] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] None of us knows.[Noone, Catherine] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [295] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I know who it was.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [295] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Much more importantly, I extend sympathy to the mayor and the people of Strasbourg and to the President of France on the tragic shooting carried out by terrorists in the city's beautiful Christmas market last night, during the sitting of the European Parliament. Of course the ti... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [295] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I refer to what was called a dangerous precedent last night in which an amendment was not be allowed to be withdrawn. I understand the argument completely. It is courteous. We all may need to have amendments withdrawn at certain points, for whatever reason. However, it is an ... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [296] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] On the point of procedure, raised by Senator Noone, once an amendment has been moved, it is live in the House and the consent of the House has to be given to have it dealt with or withdrawn. That must be borne in mind.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [296] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I understand that.[Noone, Catherine] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [296] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I accept that, but some Members said last night that it should be automatic. Let me clarify that, unfortunately, it is not automatic.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [296] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] On behalf of Sinn Féin I extend our sympathy to the people of Strasbourg. As a member of the Council of Europe, I was absolutely horrified to hear that terror has struck the people of Strasbourg in the way that it did. It is important that this message goes out from across the ... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [296] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We are not conservatives, we are republicans.[Horkan, Gerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [296] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] That is a good one, only as far as Cavan.[Gavan, Paul] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [297] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The Senator should be careful what he wishes for.[Leyden, Terry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [297] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] In 2016, the EU President, Jean-Claude Juncker, called for an EU security union with the end goal of establishing a European army. The basis of PESCO is that it obliges participating states to agree to the principle of a single force, to increasing their military spending to rea... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [297] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I compliment Senator McDowell on completing his work on Seanad reform, but I am very concerned about it. I understand that one of the proposals is that there should be one university constituency with six seats and there will be well over 1 million voters for them. This will be... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [297] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I voice my serious concern on the co-named proposals I read in the media coming from the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, once again to bring changes to the law on speeding and the immediate imposition of a fine for a person who does not carry his or her dr... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] There is nobody more severe than a reformed tart.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I am just wondering if the Minister, Deputy Ross, has got some copper-fastened commitment from an insurance company that we will see a reduction in our premiums, if this is introduced. Unless there is an incentive of reduced insurance costs, I do not see the reason for it. In f... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I call Senator Robbie Gallagher.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] That is why we have a Minister for rural affairs.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Senator Gallagher has the floor.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] With my colleagues, Senators Leyden and Ned O'Sullivan, on this side and indeed many other Senators throughout the House, I have raised the plight of Defence Forces personnel because of the terms and conditions under which they work. PDFORRA and RACO continue to raise issues in ... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [298] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I see that the next speaker, Senator Feighan, has arrived. He can go ahead and speak from there.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I would also like to-----[Feighan, Frank] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Where Senator Feighan is sitting does not mean he has joined the Independent ranking.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I hope the Senator has not joined the Sinn Féin benches.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Senator Feighan seems uncomfortable in that position but I will let him speak.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The Senator is welcome to this side of the House.[Gallagher, Robbie] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] They have a seat obsession.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] As the Shinners are occupying the Fianna Fáil seats. he is occupying-----[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Sinn Féin are in Fianna Fáil's seats.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] And then they complain about-----[Gallagher, Robbie] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Senator Feighan, please. We have a long day to get through.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I remind the House my grandfather, James Feehily, was a Sinn Féin councillor back at the turn of the century-----[Feighan, Frank] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Where did it all go wrong?[Gavan, Paul] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] -----and he joined Fine Gael while others joined Fianna Fáil.[Feighan, Frank] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Inspired choice.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I also extend my condolences to the people of France and Strasbourg. It was an awful shooting especially at Christmas time. We stand shoulder to shoulder with our French colleagues. As for the vote of confidence at Westminster today, the Prime Minister, Theresa May, has the re... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I thank the 12 Members of the House for their contributions. On my behalf, on behalf of the Fine Gael group and on behalf of the House I extend our deepest sympathy to the families of the innocent victims of the awful tragedy last night. I also extend our sympathy to the mayor ... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [299] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I did not say he was not. It was not me who said it.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] -----rejuvenating rural Ireland.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] She said there were three rural transport schemes-----[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] All we have to look at are the announcements made under LEADER programmes and village renewal schemes and we will see the Government is very much committed to rural Ireland.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The Leader should tell that to his colleagues because day after day they stand up saying it is not.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Senator Horkan raised the issue of gift vouchers, which is very timely. My information is the drafting of the legislation is proving to be more difficult than was originally envisaged. It is the intention of the Minister to have the legislation published and to then come before... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [300] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The right change, not change for change itself.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I am not going to pre-empt the report. Senator Conway-Walsh raised the issue of Permanent TSB. The Taoiseach has made a comment that the loophole will be changed. The Senator mentioned the ESRI report.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The loophole happened within the past 30 days when the vehicle was set up.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The Government's position is quite clear, that it is distressing for homeowners. The loophole will be changed. All of us agree there needs to be vigilance with the banks.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Ha.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Gabh mo leithscéal?[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I said "Ha".[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I have never demurred from saying that. It is a personal view. Obviously, the Minister is constrained in what he can and cannot do. It is easy for people to come in to rant and rave, shout and roar, and do all kinds of things. We have an obligation to the customers of the ban... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [301] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Absolutely.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We bailed out the banks. I am not sure whether my view is black and white or one dimensional, but I genuinely believe we need to be vigilant in ensuring the banks recognise that customers are important and deserve to be treated with fairness and respect.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Absolutely.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I half understood what Senator Conway-Walsh said about income levels. I do not want to misquote her. Was she speaking about an ESRI report?[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I referred to the analysis in yesterday's ESRI report. It is not Sinn Féin's analysis.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] No, it is not but it is Sinn Féin's interpretation of the analysis that I want to address.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It is black and white. I have read it all.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] First, the ESRI assessment is done by comparing the budget against a hypothetical wage-indexed budget. Second, the ESRI results show that social welfare increases have happened, pay restoration has begun and the amount of income in people's pockets has increased. In the afterma... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The Leader is missing the point.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I am not missing the point.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It is the impact they were-----[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I know the Senator-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We cannot have a debate on the matter now.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] -----wants voodoo economics to come back.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] No.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] To be fair to her, she has consistently asked the Government to spend billions of euro beyond what the Government has.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] No, we have costed our proposals.[Gavan, Paul] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] That is the whole point.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] They have been costed by the Department of Finance.[Gavan, Paul] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It is Sinn Féin's voodoo economics.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [302] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I think we should-----[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We cannot have any-----[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] On a point of order, it might be useful if the Minister were to come to the House to discuss the ESRI report specifically.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] That might be arranged.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I have noted that request. None of the proposals made by Sinn Féin before the budget, with the exception of its proposal for tax relief for renters, involved the lifting of the tax burden on workers.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] That is completely false. Does the Leader want to read our document?[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I have read it.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The Leader needs to read it again.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] If the Leader grants the Senator a discussion on this issue, she can make those points at that stage.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I would be happy to come back to-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I think the Leader needs to make this his Christmas reading.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I have read it. It is complete voodoo economics.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We will wrap it up for the Leader.[Gavan, Paul] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We will put a bow on it.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I ask the Leader to move on, rather than getting bogged down in a personal clash.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] There is no personal clash.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It is not personal.[Conway-Walsh, Rose] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] There is no personal clash at all. I thank Senator Humphreys for his patience regarding a request for a meeting. I understand his frustration. The approach he has taken is a demonstration of the importance of co-operation in the House. To be fair to the Senator, he has not pu... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [303] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I also asked whether we would have an Order of Business tomorrow.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [304] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] To be fair, it is not as if I want to hear people on my side speaking while not allowing others to make a contribution. I spoke to representatives of all the groupings yesterday. The decision we have made is based on our desire to complete the debates on all Stages of an import... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [304] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] It was the right decision.[Gavan, Paul] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [304] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We have seen the activities of some Members of the House during debates on the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017. I decided, as Leader, to speak to my colleagues in all groups to ensure we would not delay and we would not have a situation whereby the Bill would not be p... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [304] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I think it would be futile to put it to a vote.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We can put that question in a minute.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Obviously, the Government would win.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I understand the Senator's position.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I think it is a bad precedent.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I accept that.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I think we have plenty of time to deal with the Bill, given that one can speak just once on Report Stage.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We were here until after 2 a.m. yesterday. If the Senator had seen-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I stayed until almost midnight.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I know.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I stayed for ten years-----[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Some of us were here until the very end.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] No, the Leader was not around very much.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] Please, can we conclude now? We do not want-----[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I was in the House. I might not have been in the Chamber.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The Leader might have been in the House, but he was not here.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I ask the Senator to allow the Leader to conclude. There are several important points to be put.[An Cathaoirleach] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I can leave if it would help.[Norris, David] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] The Senator does not need to leave. I am not asking him to leave at all.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] We are missing him already.[Horkan, Gerry] | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
| | 12/12/2018 | [Order of Business] I thank all members of staff of the Houses of the Oireachtas, including the ushers, the stenographers, the recording people, the lads who tally the votes at the back and the Seanad staff, for their courtesy last night. It was an exception in this Oireachtas that we sat late. Th... | Vol-262 Book-4 Page [305] | |
