Seanad: Order of Business (26 Sep 2013)

Diarmuid Wilson: I would welcome a response but it would be unusual to get it from that side of the House when the Leader is not here.

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Sep 2013)

Diarmuid Wilson: It is a pity they did not take into account the number of days people are in this House attending to the democratic duties for which they were elected to attend. On one occasion colleagues entered pairing arrangements due to parliamentary business and missed a day on which there were 12 votes.

Diarmuid Wilson: I join Senators Sean D. Barrett and David Norris in welcoming the appointment of the first female bishop of the Anglican Church and look forward to it being the start of many more appointments of women in many other churches, including the one to which I belong.
