Seanad debates

Order of Business.
I am glad the good sense of the Leader has prevailed on the Government and the due process of the Houses of the Oireachtas will be adhered to. I share Senator Brian Hayes's hope that substantial Government amendments will be introduced. If this is the case, I presume they will be circulated well in advance. If the Opposition with its limited resources can manage to table amendments within a reasonable time frame, the Government should at least be able to match it. My only regret is that some members of the staff of the House had to work late last night to prepare lists of amendments which could just as easily have been drawn up today.
