Seanad: Order of Business (13 Oct 2010)

Ivana Bacik: I call on the Leader for a debate on the need for unity in Government. The news from yesterday shows that the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy John Gormley, might have been looking for consensus with the Opposition parties, but he cannot even achieve it within the Government with his Taoiseach.

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Oct 2010)

Ivana Bacik: I join previous speakers in congratulating Senator Alex White on becoming a senior counsel. I also congratulate Senator Ross on the publication of his book. Like other Members, I question why the House did not sit yesterday and why more legislation is not being taken in this Chamber.

In the circumstances, I would like to ask for the permission of the House to make one point on the group 7 amendments.
