Seanad debates
Wednesday, 28 May 2003
Order of Business.
Some of the big issues include the institutional balance, the number of Commissioners, how the President of the Council might be elected and whether the President might take office for a five year period or whether there should be a continuation of the present system of rotating presidencies where countries hold the position for six months. Important issues are involved. It would be useful, therefore, if at all possible, if the Leader could arrange a debate in the House before the final report is drafted, possibly with the presence of one or other of our members of the convention. We have had a useful interchange with them and to have them in the House again would provide continuity.
