- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Jun 2010)
Paudie Coffey: It is quite obvious that the ordering and scheduling of legislation in this House this week and next is both condensed and rushed. This is a direct result of not sitting a couple of weeks ago when Members had the opportunity, as they had an entire week off. Members on this side of the House sought the continuation of order and business in the Seanad but this was refused by the Leader and...
