Seanad debates
Wednesday, 5 February 2003
Order of Business.
Given that the Committee on Procedure and Privileges is meeting later tonight – I am not attempting to comment on or pre-empt any decision taken by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges – will the Leader provide time over the next week or so for a short debate on Seanad reform? She and others have led on this issue in the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. We need to bring the matter to a conclusion so that a sub-committee can be established to deal with the issue. All parties should make a public statement in this House about the composition of the sub-committee, including its work and timeframe, so that the public will see we are serious about the matter and will do something about it.
