Seanad debates

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

 

There is no point discussing an extension of the number of days the Seanad sits because most Members would not be keen to meet five days a week. We must, however, ensure that the time allocated is used as efficiently as possible and that we avoid the repetition that currently goes on. It could be argued that if a Bill passes Committee Stage in this House, the other House should deal with it on Report Stage, and vice versa. There would be less repetition but achievements such as that of Senator Ross on the opinion poll legislation would still be possible.
