David Norris (Independent) | Oireachtas source

Without reopening the previous debate, I just wish to say that I will be writing to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges on the subject of Seanad independence because those in Fianna Fáil apparently did not know what their party's policy was, agreed with us and then telephoned a Member of the other House to be given instructions. That interrupts the autonomy of Seanad Éireann and I protest against it.
