Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Committee Stage.

 

It is also a question of respect for this House. I am not convinced by my experience in the last year that this House gets the respect it deserves and is not taken for granted. Look at the title of the Bill – Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill – are there two Houses in the Oireachtas? If the answer is yes, both the Clerk of the Dáil and Clerk of the Seanad should be attached to the commission. I have no difficulty at all in accepting that the Clerk of the Seanad should be there in a deputy capacity.
