Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)

There were no discussions about the changes to Tuesday sittings. The Leader stated to the media that the Seanad will not sit on Tuesdays in the month of May. Is there no legislation coming from the Government? Is there no business coming from the Government? Are there no debates on the list, in spite of the many debates that we have called for here, including debates on the economy, that could have taken place yesterday or on other Tuesdays in this month. I will put an amendment to the Order of Business to discuss the scheduling of work of the Seanad for the remainder of this term.
