Order of Business
11:00 am
Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)
I remind Senators that all 12 speakers who contributed today exceeded their limit. In one case, a Senator spoke for four minutes and 30 seconds. I am trying to be fair but some people take advantage of my situation in the Chair. It upsets the business of the day. I ask people, in so far as possible, to obey the Chair. Sometimes when I give an inch they take a mile. It is unfair. The last speaker spoke for three minutes, although entitled to one. That is unfair on the Chair. I call Senator Mark Daly.
