- Employment Permits Bill 2022: From the Seanad (19 Jun 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I wish to outline our position briefly. Sinn Féin will oppose this Bill on the basis that it seeks to introduce seasonal work permits to the employment permit system. Since pre-legislative scrutiny took place, Sinn Féin has highlighted a number of red lines, namely the introduction of seasonal employment permits and the failure to exclude employers with convictions for abusing...

- International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2024)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Government for facilitating this time. Whenever the vote is, I will be back to vote against the pact or our opting in at this time. As other Members have said, we are putting the cart before the horse. Some of us are old enough to remember the Amsterdam treaty in 1998, which we voted for, and our two outings on Lisbon in 2008 and 2009. It is worth noting that we looked for...

Question declared carried.

Mattie McGrath: I have been here all evening and have annoyed the clerks by asking how many more speakers there are. Why are they not on the list? We are always told our names have to be on the list to speak. It looks like a charade, walks like a charade and is a charade. Nothing short of it.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: People come up to me constantly and ask me if they can get in. I do everything I can to facilitate that.

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: For the benefit of people watching in, what is due to happen, without any change, is that everyone who has indicated and is present will have spoken within the allocated time, a vote would have proceeded and everyone who had sought time would have had the opportunity to speak. I am quite relaxed about this. I believe what might be expected has been discussed outside of the Chamber to some...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: It would be without precedent. I have never heard of a situation in which Members came in and made a decision but wanted to know the names of the people who potentially wanted to speak if the time was allocated. That has never happened and it is not going to happen now.

Michael Healy-Rae: I think I am making a valid point of order; the Ceann Comhairle can tell me whether he will allow it. What is going on here this evening with the deferral of the vote - this is the place where we hear all of the stories - is that the Government is not happy that it has enough numbers this evening and wants to have a better vote next week. Can the Whip confirm, through the Chair, whether...
