Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Report and Final Stages.

 

This is a new Department but it is for Members of the House. It is to allow Members of both Houses to do their own business and work through their €295 million budget over three years, as laid down, with the officials and decide how they will run their own business. This is the only Department which is actually for elected people, and unelected people had to draft the legislation, yet when a very sensible amendment is put forward by the Fine Gael Party that the Clerk of the Seanad should be a member of the commission, it is not accepted.
