- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: I did give a little latitude.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: Order please. We want to hear Senator Conway without interruption.

Paul Coghlan: It was my understanding too but-----
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: I want to explain something first. I allowed a little latitude and then there was confusion about Senator McDowell's name being on amendment No. 6 but not on amendment No. 5. Senators Boyhan and Craughwell did not speak at all on amendment No. 5. I noticed Senator Norris disagreed with my ruling and perhaps I was not forceful enough in pressing it. The Chair has discretion and I have...
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: I call Senator McDowell.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: I respect that.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: Again, the Senator is probably straying a little.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: I welcome back the Minister. I ask for Members' attention. We will move on to amendment No. 7, which arises out of committee proceedings. Amendments Nos. 7 to 12, inclusive, are related.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: No. I am not hearing any word from the Senator; I am going to make this statement. Amendments Nos. 8 and 9 are physical alternatives to No. 7. Amendment No. 11 is consequential on No. 7. Amendments Nos. 11 and 12 are physical alternatives to No. 10. Amendments Nos. 7 to 12, inclusive, may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed?
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: They are physically overlapping. That is my advice.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: I am formally advised that, because of the overlapping-----
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: In a sense, this grouping facilitates the Senators because, if amendment No. 7 is agreed, Nos. 8 and 9 cannot be moved. Because of the overlapping, it is better to discuss Nos. 7 to 12, inclusive, together, as advised. That is the reason for the grouping.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: Follow that.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: Will Senator Craughwell repeat that?
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: The Senator wants to recommit the Bill in respect of amendment No. 7.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: That would not undo the grouping. The Senator can make that proposal but, if we were to proceed in this way, Members could be discommoded because, when we finish with amendment No. 7, they will not be able to discuss the other amendments. They will not arise.
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2019)
Paul Coghlan: Are the two Senators proposing that the Bill be recommitted in respect of amendment No. 7 only?
