In addition, an earlier signature motion in respect of the Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2004 will be taken at a convenient point, if the Bill is passed by the Dáil. No. 1 is a report of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges recommending changes in the Standing Orders relative to procedure in the...

Seanad: Business of Seanad. (19 May 2004)

Rory Kiely: Before calling on the Leader, I will make a statement for the information of the House on the proceedings of the motion moved by Senator Mansergh last Wednesday. I will not allow the statement to be the subject of comment or debate. The Chair is the sole judge of order in the House and, where necessary, must rule on matters not covered by Standing Orders. This was the position on Wednesday...

Seanad: Order of Business. (19 May 2004)

Rory Kiely: As the Senator well knows, procedures are ultimately a matter for this House and if a motion to impeach is tabled, procedures will be drawn up, presumably by the CPP, in the same way as any change requiring an amendment to Standing Orders.

Seanad: Order of Business. (12 May 2004)

Joe O'Toole: I seek a ruling, a Chathaoirligh, regarding this evening's Private Members' motion, which asks us to reaffirm a key objective of Government policy. I am not sure whether, constitutionally or under Standing Orders, it is appropriate for the House to affirm the programme for Government, which is agreed between two parties. I do not know how the House can be brought into that matter. On a more...

Seanad: Order of Business. (30 Apr 2004)

Mary O'Rourke: ...and we should be aware of them anyway. I think there will be some movement in that regard. Senator Ryan asked why there was no order on the Order Paper to announce a guillotine for the Bill. Under Standing Orders, there is no requirement for a formal motion to conclude Second Stage. The matter can be dealt with by adopting the Order of Business and hopefully adapting it if more speakers...

Seanad: Citizenship Rights for Non-Nationals: Motion (7 Apr 2004)

Brian Hayes: ..., race and immigration has the potential to become an explosive issue and to allow untoward forces in Ireland to use it for their own narrow political focus. We must be mindful of that aspect. The motion has been tabled so that the Government will rethink its attitude on when this matter should be put before the people by way of constitutional referendum. It is important that politicians...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Oct 2003)

Yesterday evening, the debate on the benchmarking motion tabled by Fine Gael was extended by 15 minutes and many good contributions were made. It was suggested to me that I was wrong to allow an extra 15 minutes. I refer Members to Standing Order 42, which allows a time extension on a non-governmental motion once it is moved from the floor and the sitting Cathaoirleach agrees to it. I mention...

Seanad: Order of Business. (21 May 2003)

Brendan Ryan: ...position on governors restricting the speed of heavy goods vehicles, or does anybody do so? I have previously raised the question of the enforcement of the law in this area. Do gardaí have an understanding with truck drivers to the effect that as long as they do not break the normal speed limits they will not enforce the law? Truck drivers are not supposed to drive above 50 mph. Senator...

Private Business. - Report of Joint Committee on Standing Orders: Motion. (16 Apr 2003)

Seanad: Order of Business. (10 Apr 2003)

...of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003 in one hour's debate. I understand that there are 27 amendments to the Bill. That is not the way to do business. It is not the Leader's fault but that of Standing Orders. My party's spokesperson and those of other parties are to be allowed to make only one response to the 27 amendments. On that basis, we oppose both the Order of Business and the way in...

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Mar 2003)

The process of terminating debate in the House needs to be clarified. I have not found anything in Standing Orders on terminating Committee Stage debate before it has concluded. I ask the Cathaoirleach to examine the matter. If the Government wants to terminate a debate, it should table a motion to that effect and allow Senators to vote on it. We must act according to Standing Orders. To vote...
