- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 Jul 2013)

For the reasons set out by Senator Burke, I oppose the wording of amendment No. 1 in principle. It is also...

As Senator O'Brien said, this is to be a quiet week, with not much happening in the Seanad. The Leader will respond to Senator O'Brien in the context of the amendment to the Order of Business. However, in respect of the statement made by Senator John Kelly, as referred to by Senator O'Brien,...

Ivana Bacik: I would like to renew my call for a pre-budget debate in the autumn that will consider the budget to come and the issue of austerity.

This, coupled with the announcement earlier this week of a refocused prioritisation of job...
