Seanad debates

Sub-Committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion.
I ask the Leader and the sub-committee that will be established ultimately to examine the issue of resourcing for Members and their offices. This is a point of contention for many Members on both sides of the House. There is a need for the preparation of special reports that the Seanad could sanction. One of the best improvements in the committee system in recent years has been that a rapporteur can be appointed to report on a issue and that issue is then presented by one or two Members, frequently from different parties. The Seanad could implement such a measure.
