- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Denis O'Donovan: I wish to acknowledge the presence of our former Seanad colleague, Mr. Eamonn Coghlan, in the Visitors Gallery. I had to look at him a few times because he looks far healthier and at ease in his new role than he did in this Chamber. He is very welcome and I wish him and his friends a nice day. Senator Ivana Bacik has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That No. 1 be taken with...

- Seanad: Business of Seanad (9 Jul 2018)
Denis O'Donovan: I am allowing the Senator to raise the issue, but I will not allow him to have a debate on the GRECO report. I do not want him to start a lengthy speech. At this stage, we are all well aware of the issue he is raising, so he should be as brief as he can. Given the importance of the issue, I have allowed the Senator to raise it under Standing Order 190, but I do not want a full debate on...
- Seanad: Business of Seanad (9 Jul 2018)
Denis O'Donovan: I see hands being lifted, but the only person who raised this matter and laid it before me last Friday was Senator Craughwell, so no one else is entitled to speak. It is strictly the Senator's matter.
- Seanad: Business of Seanad (9 Jul 2018)

- Seanad: Business of Seanad (9 Jul 2018)
Denis O'Donovan: The motion is not being moved. That is the difficulty.
- Seanad: Business of Seanad (9 Jul 2018)
Denis O'Donovan: I am only allowing Senator Craughwell briefly, but the time is getting less brief as the interventions are made.
- Seanad: Business of Seanad (9 Jul 2018)
Denis O'Donovan: I must stop the Senator at this juncture. We spoke about the GRECO report for almost three days last week, so I will allow the Leader and no one else to contribute. I am sorry, but I have to make that ruling. The Leader will respond to Senator Craughwell. The business of the day has been decided, but I will allow the Leader to speak. He has the discretion to accept the Senator's motion...
