Jerry Buttimer: I am not taking a point of order right now. Thank you. I heard Senator Ruane's earlier intervention around Standing Order 55. I have been following the debate. I have been here for a piece of the debate. To Members who are not familiar with Standing Order 55, a Senator may claim to move that the question be now put, as Senator Ruane has referenced. In this case, the question involved is...

Seanad: Restoration of Oireachtas Library and Reading Room: Motion (28 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Michael McDowell: This motion speaks for itself but I want to put the background to it on the record. The Houses of the Oireachtas Commission has not decided anything on the closure of the Members' reading room. The Committee on Standing Orders and Dáil Reform has received a submission but has not approved it. The submission would mean the existing reading room, which is the shared facility of Senators...

Seanad: EU Migration: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

Frances Black: I am proud to be here alongside my Civil Engagement Group colleagues and I am pleased to second this important and timely motion.

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Jun 2023)

Victor Boyhan: ...of "hatred" on its website. Somehow the UN can have a definition of "hatred", "incitement to hatred" and crime but we are falling short in this legislation. At the outset, I co-signed a motion with my colleague, Senator McDowell, who is a former Attorney General, former Minister for Justice, senior counsel and a strong legal and parliamentary advocate with a lot of experience in this...

Seanad: Non-Fatal Offences against the Person (Amendment) (Spiking) Bill 2023: Second Stage (31 May 2023)

Michael McDowell: ...'s Department - I am aware I am using the phrase "Deputy Harris's Department" in a temporary sense - has before this House a Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. By simply proposing a Standing Orders motion, this provision could easily be introduced to it as an additional section. It could be done properly, I would say with the consent of all Members of this House, within a...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (16 Dec 2022)

Victor Boyhan: ..., I genuinely think that it is important that we have an election. Article 15.9 of the Constitution speaks of Seanad Éireann's exclusive right to order its business and choose, by whatever means our Standing Orders permit, a Cathaoirleach and later on, by motion, a Leas-Cathaoirleach, which again is in our Standing Orders. What is somewhat disappointing and worth noting by anyone...

Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (16 Dec 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Lisa Chambers: ..., he has exemplified that type of characteristic. He has, as I have said previously, really expanded the role of Cathaoirleach. He did his very best to reform the Seanad within the constraints of Standing Orders. He looked to see what was possible without having to go to the electorate as such. Thanks to that work, we have had engagements here with MEPs and we have had the Seanad...
