Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Feb 2022)

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Feb 2022)

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

Mark Daly: I am going to break with precedent. Normally I would call on all the leaders of the groups to follow on from the Leader's announcement of the Order of Business.
