Mary White (Fianna Fail)

I support what Senator Norris has said about the treatment of this House last Friday. This side of the House was valiantly led by Senator Walsh, and Senator Cox pleaded that her amendment be listened to. How correct she proved to be at the weekend. When I was entering the House, I saw Members of the Dáil leaving because the Dáil had been adjourned, so I realised before we sat here last Friday that we were just a rubber stamp for legislation. I would like the Leader to request the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach to ensure such disrespect will never be shown to this House again.
