Seanad debates

Sub-committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion (Resumed).
Senators also face difficulties in relation to secretarial facilities. I realise we do not have a constituency per se, but believe we should be given the option of having a home office, especially as we invariably spend only one and a half days in Dublin each week. As most Senators are not from Dublin, it would make more sense to make secretarial services available outside Dublin, to allow us to do more work, especially research, when we are at home. If we do not have these services, the quality of debate in the House will suffer.
