Seanad debates

Thursday, 9 October 2003

The Order of Business is No. 1, a sessional order to address the problem arising from Senators being allowed to make only one contribution on the effect of all amendments made to a Seanad Bill substantially amended in the Dáil, which many Members find too restrictive. Having considered the matter, the Committee on Procedure and Privileges proposed a new procedure to allow a Member to contribute once on the subject matter of each grouping of amendments made by the Dáil when they return to the Seanad. The House will be able to monitor how the change is enforced; and No. 2, Oil Pollution of the Sea (Civil Liability and Compensation) (Amendment) Bill 2003 – Committee and Remaining Stages, to be taken at the conclusion of the Order of Business and to conclude not later than 1 p.m.
