Pat Moylan (Fianna Fail)

I have asked Senators not to bring mobile phones or BlackBerrys into the House. We must be fair to those who are trying to record the proceedings, and Senators who bring these devices into the Chamber are acting irresponsibly. I have asked that they be turned off or, if it is necessary to take calls, that they be left with Senators' secretaries. Mobile phones ring too often in the House and, to be fair to everyone, it must stop.
