Caít Keane (Fine Gael)

I had not planned to speak today but I thank Senator Bacik for raising the issue of the sexist comments made in the Dáil. They are unbecoming from any parliamentarian. Senator White said the rules should be reviewed. I look around this House and I see conduct becoming of parliamentarians, both female and male. The other House should take an example from this House, not just in terms of attire but verbal contributions. The debate in the Dáil is sometimes like a slagging match and is conduct unbecoming.
