Thomas Pringle (Donegal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I second Deputy Thomas P. Broughan's proposal in respect of an amendment to No. 5cregarding the speaking order of the differing groupings in the opening sessions in order to recognise that there are Independent Members in the House, particularly in the light of the sentiment expressed in No. 5bto establish a standing committee to look at the issue of Dáil reform. In that context, the order should be amended to reflect the fact that the Independents should have speaking rights in the opening sessions.
