- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Nov 2017)
Jerry Buttimer: Senator Warfield was missing yesterday. To be fair to him, he could not be here. I join him again in congratulating the people of Australia. I agree with him that it should not have had to be done through a non-binding vote. He is 100% correct.
