Order of Business

Rónán Mullen (Independent)
The interesting point is that Britain's immigration Minister agreed to accept the amendments. It would be nice to have a similar parliamentary process in this State, whereby the Upper House could vote down an amendment without it resulting in the collapse of the Government. A more mature approach and an openness to good ideas would be welcome. That would lead to a more empowered Legislature.
