- Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (18 Sep 2020)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: I move: "That Senator Fintan Warfield be elected Leas-Chathaoirleach." In nominating Senator Warfield, I make the point that we in this House are very lucky and very privileged to have candidates of such calibre before us this afternoon.

Niall Ó Donnghaile: The Minister of State is welcome. Sinn Féin does not oppose the technical amendments as outlined. We have an amendment of our own, of which the Minister of State will be aware.

In the broadest sense possible,...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: The Cathaoirleach stated in his remarks to us that this is a special sitting of the Seanad. The point I want to make is that it should not be. It should have been the business as scheduled and presented to Members at the end of last week. I do not know where this issue of not agreeing to the two days sitting is emanating from. I was asked as leader of the Sinn Féin group and gave our...
