Seanad debates
Wednesday, 19 November 2003
Order of Business.
There are four Senators on the Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights, namely Senators Kett, Terry, Tuffy and Jim Walsh. While an amendment to No. 1 has been put forward, I suggest Members across the parties co-operate to produce a short report for the Seanad which could be discussed in the House. I do not like to say a motion is being taken without debate. It sounds undemocratic, even though it has presumably been discussed quite extensively by a committee. I am sure Members of this House always attend such discussions. I suggest that where we take motions without debate in future, Senators who sit on the relevant committee should produce a report on that committee's proceedings.
