Seanad: Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Second Stage (6 Feb 2013)

Seanad: Business of Seanad (6 Feb 2013)

David Cullinane: On a point of order, we cannot agree to one hour and 30 minutes for a Second Stage debate. There will be many Senators who will want to speak on one of the most important Bills to come through this Seanad.
