Pat Moylan (Fianna Fail)

Before I call the Leader, I note Senators continue to approach staff to complain when they are not called to speak in the order they wish. As Cathaoirleach, I have sole responsibility for calling speakers. There is nothing to be gained from approaching staff and the practice must cease. When the House is in session Senators should not approach or annoy staff as it prevents them from doing their job properly. I regret the Senator who broke that rule today is not present.
