Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have listened to much rhetoric relating to Standing Orders from the high moral ground on the other side of the House. There was a general consensus that we would appoint one Government Senator and one non-Government Senator. However, I agree this was not mentioned in the motion that was passed. The motion only mentioned selecting two Senators. I am suggesting, and I am going to ask the Cathaoirleach, that the matter be referred to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges so it can be investigated. I have information that I intend to bring to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges and will do so acting in the best interests of the House at all times. Before any decision is ratified certain matters should be discussed by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges.
