Kathleen O'Meara: I thank the Cathaoirleach for giving permission to raise this important matter of the staffing levels at the legal aid centre in Nenagh and at the associated centres in Thurles and Clonmel.

- Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Feb 2003)
Kathleen O'Meara: I support the amendment to the Order of Business and the comments made about it.

In other...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Mar 2003)
Kathleen O'Meara: We, on this side of the House, have always found the Leader very reasonable and co-operative in her approach to business and very responsive to requests from this side of the House. I ask her, therefore, to look again at what we are proposing. In particular, although it is at very short notice â we are getting used to short notice â I ask her to look at the Bill the Labour Party published...
