Sub-committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion (Resumed).

 

If we are to take that road, which remains a decision for the Committee on Procedure and Privileges committee, we should have the help of a secretariat. The Clerk of the Seanad and her team work long hours. They are painstaking and punctilious, as are all the Members, but if we are to set this up on a quasi-professional basis, we would need to have some outside help. That remains to be seen. The Minister for Finance can close his purse firmly and say, "Away with you, that is all fanciful," but we hope he will not do so and might agree.
