Election of Acting Chairperson
9:30 am
Clerk of the Seanad:
I have to inform the House, pursuant to Standing Order 12, that both the Cathaoirleach and Leas-Chathaoirleach are absent from this meeting of the Seanad. It will be necessary, therefore, to elect a Member to perform the duties devolving upon and exercise the authority conferred upon the Cathaoirleach by Standing Orders for the period of absence of both. I will take proposals for Acting Chairperson.
