If one were to consider this matter as a sort of competition between the two Houses – something I hope one would not do – it could reasonably be argued that the Seanad is coming up in the world in relation to administrative matters. Under this Bill, the Ceann Comhairle, who is currently the political head of the Office of the Houses of the Oireachtas, will share that role with the Cathaoirleach, as well as their colleagues on the commission. The Bill also retains the existing obligation to consult the Cathaoirleach when matters relating to this House arise.
