Seanad debates

Wednesday, 18 December 2002

We are scheduled to discuss Committee Stage of the Immigration Bill, 2002, this evening. At present, however, there is no list of amendments available. This is not simply because Opposition Members were late submitting amendments. My party's amendments were submitted last Thursday. The Government's amendments only arrived yesterday afternoon. I am aware of how hard the staff in this House work and that no blame can be attached to them. This Bill has been on the Order Paper for the past six months. The Government could at least have drafted its amendments in time to comply with the rules of the House.
