Fiach MacConghail (Independent)

Notwithstanding what Senator O'Brien said about the petition committee, I thank all Senators for unanimously passing last night's Private Members' motion on the overhaul of how we do business in the Seanad. The debate was productive. Separate to the petition committee, I wish to ask the Leader how soon the CPP will meet to begin to implement the decision on last night's motion and whether we could see a result of that before the end of July. Will someone come to the floor of the Seanad to address us so that before we rise for the summer we will have seen effective and clear change? That would address Senator White's anxiety about the continuing audition of Seanad Éireann.
