Seanad debates

Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Committee Stage.

 

This is a repeat of the previous arguments about recognition of the status of the House, namely, that the senior administrative officer in Dáil Éireann, who is referred to in the Bill as the Secretary General, or effectively the chief executive, should be accompanied in an assistant role by the Clerk of the Seanad who would then be called the assistant Secretary General or assistant chief executive. The arguments are exactly the same and I see no reason the Clerk should not be the deputy or assistant to the chief executive or Secretary General of the commission.
