Alex White (Labour)

As leader of the Labour Party group in the Seanad, at the next meeting of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges I propose to raise the complete lack of consistency in ruling amendments in or out of order. I will say no more about the matter today, in fairness to the Chair.

I thank the Minister of State for what he said. I understood him to say he thought the issues raised by me and Senator Norris were incomplete and that we could have gone further. That is a criticism I am happy to take. If more can be done than was contemplated by us, we will be happy to have our proposal improved upon.
