Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (21 Oct 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I am sharing time with Deputy Pringle. I wish I could say I welcome the opportunity to speak to this debate but "welcome" does not come to my mind.

It goes on to say what can...

Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (21 Oct 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I understand where the Deputy is coming from. I am sorry but I will not allow a debate on it. At this point I have to make a ruling on it. I perfectly understand what the Deputy is saying. It is part of the system that I read out that the Bill will now be read a Second Time and nobody can object to that at this point. In my limited experience and understanding of the system, it is not...
