Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (26 Apr 2006)

Brendan Ryan: ...unequivocally to renew the commitment entered into on 10 July 2003 and allow Cork and Shannon airports to "commence business free of debt". During my time in this House, I have rarely moved motions that have a local resonance for the area in which I live. It has not been my style. However, sometimes one is confronted with such a blatant act of misgovernment which applies locally that one...

Seanad: Use of Irish Airports: Motion. (8 Mar 2006)

Seanad: Anti-Social Behaviour: Motion. (11 May 2005)

John Minihan: ...are at the receiving end. I am particularly concerned for the elderly. Communities can be subjected to serious harassment, which can cause distress despite its not involving criminal offences. Standing up to offenders can be impossible for older or vulnerable people. Relief must be provided through the State. The heart of the debate concerns behaviour that is serious but not criminal and...

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Apr 2005)

Mary O'Rourke: ...did with those who read about it in the newspapers. The Senator also raised the issue of the Minister for Transport's speech in this House last week on Private Members' business, on the Fine Gael motion. I listened on and off to the debate in my office. In the main I have found that the Ministers who come here do a good job and give us good value in what they have to say. Senator Brian...

Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Jun 2004)

Mary O'Rourke: The Order of Business is Nos. 1 to 9, inclusive, and No. 25, motion No. 20. In addition, an earlier signature motion in respect of the Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2004 will be taken at a convenient point, if the Bill is passed by the Dáil. No. 1 is a report of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges recommending changes in the Standing Orders relative to procedure in the...

Seanad: Business of Seanad. (19 May 2004)

Rory Kiely: Before calling on the Leader, I will make a statement for the information of the House on the proceedings of the motion moved by Senator Mansergh last Wednesday. I will not allow the statement to be the subject of comment or debate. The Chair is the sole judge of order in the House and, where necessary, must rule on matters not covered by Standing Orders. This was the position on Wednesday...

Seanad: Order of Business. (19 May 2004)

Rory Kiely: As the Senator well knows, procedures are ultimately a matter for this House and if a motion to impeach is tabled, procedures will be drawn up, presumably by the CPP, in the same way as any change requiring an amendment to Standing Orders.

Seanad: Order of Business. (12 May 2004)

Joe O'Toole: I seek a ruling, a Chathaoirligh, regarding this evening's Private Members' motion, which asks us to reaffirm a key objective of Government policy. I am not sure whether, constitutionally or under Standing Orders, it is appropriate for the House to affirm the programme for Government, which is agreed between two parties. I do not know how the House can be brought into that matter. On a more...

Seanad: Request to Move Adjournment of the Seanad under Standing Order 29. (30 Apr 2004)

Seanad: Order of Business. (30 Apr 2004)

Mary O'Rourke: ...and we should be aware of them anyway. I think there will be some movement in that regard. Senator Ryan asked why there was no order on the Order Paper to announce a guillotine for the Bill. Under Standing Orders, there is no requirement for a formal motion to conclude Second Stage. The matter can be dealt with by adopting the Order of Business and hopefully adapting it if more speakers...

Seanad: Citizenship Rights for Non-Nationals: Motion (7 Apr 2004)

Brian Hayes: ..., race and immigration has the potential to become an explosive issue and to allow untoward forces in Ireland to use it for their own narrow political focus. We must be mindful of that aspect. The motion has been tabled so that the Government will rethink its attitude on when this matter should be put before the people by way of constitutional referendum. It is important that politicians...

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...
