Seanad: Order of Business. (12 Mar 2003)

On a very precise point of order, Standing Order 107 states that in committee a Bill shall be considered section by section. If this Bill concludes, as the Leader wishes, at some time this afternoon and a significant number of sections have not been reached, the House cannot just stop there because we would be in breach of Standing Orders. If the Leader wants to conclude, it is her duty to...

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Mar 2003)

The process of terminating debate in the House needs to be clarified. I have not found anything in Standing Orders on terminating Committee Stage debate before it has concluded. I ask the Cathaoirleach to examine the matter. If the Government wants to terminate a debate, it should table a motion to that effect and allow Senators to vote on it. We must act according to Standing Orders. To vote...

Seanad: Membership of Committees: Motion (19 Jul 2013) See 6 other results from this debate

David Norris: I was saying to the Cathaoirleach that this motion purports to suspend Standing Orders. As we are in a kind of vacuum with no rules and regulations, the Cathaoirleach cannot rely on Standing Orders to rule out an amendment. I would have thought we can table an amendment because Standing Orders have been lifted.

Seanad: Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage (Resumed). (12 Mar 2003)

Brendan Ryan: On the Order of Business this morning I asked about the procedure to be used at 4 p.m. At that time 15 sections of the Bill will remain. I pointed out this morning that under Standing Order 107, all sections would have to be debated unless Standing Orders were overruled. As no motion has been put before the House to overrule Standing Orders, I would like the Acting Chairman to clarify what...

I acknowledge the contribution from the Leader of the House who...

Seanad: Business of Seanad (11 Jun 2014)

John Crown: Standing Order 159 states: "(1) Any Standing Order or Orders of the Seanad may be suspended for the day’s sitting, and for a particular purpose, upon motion made after notice". I believe this issue should now be considered as a Standing Order 159 matter.

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Oct 2003)

Yesterday evening, the debate on the benchmarking motion tabled by Fine Gael was extended by 15 minutes and many good contributions were made. It was suggested to me that I was wrong to allow an extra 15 minutes. I refer Members to Standing Order 42, which allows a time extension on a non-governmental motion once it is moved from the floor and the sitting Cathaoirleach agrees to it. I mention...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (5 Jun 2014)

Paul Bradford: ...a technical matter, will the Leader consider an amendment to the Order of Business to allow the taking of No. 16 before No. 1?
