Regina Doherty: I move: "That Second Stage be taken today."

Seanad: Payment of Wages (Amendment) (Tips and Gratuities) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank Senator Ahern for sharing his time because I am an interloper today. I thank the Tánaiste for introducing this Bill. I was involved in it when I was Minister. The Tánaiste is well aware that when Governments fall, priorities are not always the same for the following Minister, who may have a different agenda. I am grateful that he followed through on this. The past...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: It was a good year.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: I concur. I acknowledge all the contributions that have been made by those who were clearly Noel's friends. I extend my condolences to Noel's wife, Mary, and all his children and family, and, indeed, the Fianna Fáil colleagues he had and the odd Fine Gael colleague he had. He certainly sounded like a wonderful man. I will organise a service and statements here to honour his service...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: I wish to talk about the groupings list. As far as the groups here in front of me are concerned, the proposal is that we will be discussing amendments Nos. 1 and 2 in conjunction with each other. I wish to object to that. They do not have anything to do each other; they are entirely separate.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: I do not believe that having a charter for licence holders is consequential on having a meeting for licence holders on an annual basis. I would like to propose that we separate that grouping and discuss-----

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: I ask the Acting Chairperson to indulge me for a moment, because I was not here on Second Stage. I wish to talk about the merits of the Bill very briefly. The purpose of this Bill arose from a directive from the European Union on the basis that our regulatory system was combined with the part of the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, that looks after the regulatory standards and the regulations...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: Okay, sorry. The issue of peer support is perhaps even more important than that of the licence holder forum. At one of the meetings we had with the Minister, we were given a glimpse of hope that peer support would be addressed. The recognition of how important who the peer actually is, and who she he or she is chosen by, is paramount to the success of this programme. In order for any...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: I am still speaking to amendment No. 1. I will get to the rest of it in a second.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: We all own this legislation, to be fair. When it is passed, it will be passed in all our names.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: If it is passed unamended, we will all take the blame for this legislation.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: That is not a problem. I cannot overestimate the impact of ignoring this plea. I will give the floor to my colleagues with a view to contributing again. If we establish a support programme that has no trust, it will be as good as having no support programme at all.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: I wish to be clear. I apologise but, without telling the Acting Chairperson how to do his job, the Leader would never propose an amendment to the order. He or she would accept an amendment to it. The amendment would need to be proposed by a Member to me. I would then either accept it or not accept it.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: Really?

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: Has it happened that the Leader has amended his or her own order?

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: Okay.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: May I take guidance?

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: May I clarify what the request is?
