Seanad: Order of Business (27 Mar 2015)

Rónán Mullen: I second Senator Craughwell's excellent proposal. This is very bad parliamentary practice. I remember meeting other group leaders when I was a representative of the independent university panel and a general rule was that we did not take Committee Stage and Report Stage on the same day, other than in the most exceptional of situations. The reason for that is to give the Government time to...

Rónán Mullen: On a point of order, having checked it with the Clerk, Deirdre Lane, just now, I understand that the procedure whereby an amendment to a Bill is ruled out of order is that a recommendation comes up from the Bills Office, goes through to the Seanad Office and then on to the Cathaoirleach for a ruling. In this case, it came to the Leas-Chathaoirleach to rule it out of order. I understand that...

Rónán Mullen: May I propose these amendments again on Report Stage? Is it possible for the Leas-Chathaoirleach to engage in a separate consideration?

Seanad: An Bille um an gCeathrú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Comhionannas Pósta) 2015: Céim an Choiste - Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Marriage Equality) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (27 Mar 2015)

Rónán Mullen: I am grateful for the courteous and careful way in which the Leas-Chathaoirleach has allowed me to express my major concern about this. It has the potential to bring the Seanad and the officials who work in these Houses and their decision making under public scrutiny in a way that will not reflect well on them. These issues are going to be central to the public debate and if it is out there...

Rónán Mullen: The debate was guillotined, which was unfortunate. Similar issues arose with regard to conscientious objection. Nobody should have any sympathy with anybody who would like to discriminate against a person on the grounds that he or she is gay. It should be and is against the law. Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation should be outlawed. There are exceptions to pretty much...

Rónán Mullen: The printer went privately and respectfully and offered his hand, and it was not taken. Can we not find a way to accommodate differences of opinion? Is that not what all the great liberal traditions are about, if we consider the separation of church and state in the American tradition? Is it not about allowing people to go their own way unimpeded by the higher force of law except where it...

Rónán Mullen: The Minister stated on a number of occasions that the scheme which goes with the referendum proposal makes clear that religious organisations will not be required to provide marriage ceremonies and so on. Nobody has suggested that it should be otherwise. This is a hare which no one opposed to the referendum has raised during the debate. This is one example of how the people who are most...
