We have lost our way with some of the rules of debate here and it needs to be addressed early in the new year. We are at risk of tieing ourselves up in knots and bringing the Seanad into disrepute. It shows a lack of clear thinking on our part if we close down every debate simply because we think a Member will say something disobliging about somebody else. That is not the test.
