Communications Regulation (Premium Rate Services and Electronic Communications Infrastructure) Bill 2009: From the Seanad (3 Mar 2010)

Liz McManus: I wish the Minister well on this. The origins of the Bill came with an attempt to move from RegTel. It has been a long journey and it has gone into ducts and all kinds of unexpected places. The Bill changed title three times along the way, so it has been a curious journey, but for that reason it has been more demanding on the civil servants, and their work is appreciated. Although I still...

Order of Business (9 Mar 2010)

Liz McManus: I am sorry but I did not hear that. I cannot hear a word the Taoiseach is saying.

Order of Business (9 Mar 2010)

Liz McManus: A Cheann Comhairle, the important point here is about trust. There are written rules in this House and Standing Orders but there are also unwritten rules on which the Whips depend to ensure that we work well and get through our business. The Taoiseach did not answer the question raised by the leader of the Labour Party. It is unprecedented in my experience that a motion was tabled to be on...

Order of Business (9 Mar 2010)

Liz McManus: If the Whips are to be able to work on the basis of trust, we need an explanation, not just a brushing aside, as we got from the Taoiseach.

Order of Business (9 Mar 2010)

Liz McManus: No, this is about procedure and the schedule and the Order of Business with which we must deal. Can I have an explanation as to why this item, which was on the schedule circulated to us all last week, suddenly disappeared and was then re-included? Why did this happen? What was the sequence of events?

Order of Business (9 Mar 2010)

Liz McManus: The question is, "What was the Government playing at?" The Chief Whip and Taoiseach are present and the very least they could do is give us an explanation. We are surely entitled to one. There is a certain amount of disrespect for this House evident in what happened in the past couple of days. The item was on the schedule and was removed without any explanation. I would like a very...

All parties, Government and Opposition, supported the motion. They shared the same feeling of outrage at what is being done, particularly in respect of how it affects the smaller operator such as local radio stations...
