Seanad: Order of Business (24 Apr 2018)

David Norris: I refer to my motion that Seanad Éireann requests the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, CPP, to delete Standing Order No. 41 that prevents the Seanad from accepting amendments that create a charge on the Exchequer. I have received a note from the Cathaoirleach's office, on the advice of the Clerk. It states:I regret [...] to have to rule that your motion in relation to the removal...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)

David Norris: To complete the trio of Trinity Senators, I spoke on the dining hall steps on behalf of students. I have sent in a motion to remove Standing Order 41 which prohibits Seanad Éireann from putting down amendments which create a charge on the Exchequer. Within ten minutes I had 12 signatures.

This is as grossly wrong as the...

Seanad: Membership of Committees: Motion (19 Jul 2013)

David Norris: If, as this motion purports, Standing Orders are suspended completely, I do not see any reason the Cathaoirleach could not take an amendment because there are no Standing Orders governing it.

Seanad: Membership of Committees: Motion (19 Jul 2013)

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.
