Seanad: Order of Business. (1 Feb 2006)

Brian Hayes: I welcome No. 1 on the Order Paper, the motion which extends the time for contributions to the Order of Business to 40 minutes. I thank all colleagues on the Committee on Procedure and Privileges for agreeing to that motion. It is worthwhile and long overdue. I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that following the conclusion of the Order of Business statements on road tolling be...

Seanad: School Staffing. (26 Jan 2006)

Brian Hayes: I thank the Minister for her comprehensive reply. Perhaps following this debate she would be good enough to ask officials in her Department to contact the two schools to which I have referred, St. Mark's senior and junior schools, regarding their current specific problem. I appreciate what the Minister said in terms of the commitment in this area but sometimes what is termed the "one size...

Seanad: School Staffing. (26 Jan 2006)

Brian Hayes: I apologise for my late arrival and thank the Minister for attending to take the Adjournment matter I have tabled.

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Jan 2006)

Brian Hayes: I oppose the Order of Business for the reasons put forward by Senator Maurice Hayes yesterday with regard to No. 11. I propose that on the conclusion of No. 2 there shall be a one-hour debate on No. 11. It is most important that this House formally debates No. 11, which deals with the appointment of the three-person Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission. There is precedent for this. When Ms...

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Jan 2006)

Brian Hayes: This would provide the opportunity to reflect the importance of the occasion. A new garda may have to question people and give evidence in court and the importance of this should be reflected. The way to do this is to offer the new garda citizenship. I hope the Acting Leader will take this matter up with the Minister.

Seanad: Order of Business. (25 Jan 2006)

Brian Hayes: Since we last met one of the most historic judgments ever has been handed down from the Supreme Court, namely, on the issue of privilege. Will the Leader set aside time for a full debate, possibly next week, on that judgment? While the matter has been debated at the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, it involves all Members in a non-party political way. The issue surrounds the case...
