Seanad debates

Sub-Committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion.

 

Should the people be asked to voice their opinions on this matter? I believe they should. The Leader of the House will have to play an important role in trying to raise the stature of the House in terms of its relevancy because we are somewhat behind the game in that regard. This House was never intended to be a place where one could deal immediately with issues that might arise on a particular day. There is a difference between issues of the day and topical issues. General issues of the day should be discussed here, not issues which may arise on the morning of a sitting. That is an extremely important point.
