Priory Hall debate amendment
The Chair identifies Senator Byrne’s amendment seeking a Priory Hall debate; Senator Byrne withdraws it after receiving a satisfactory response and acknowledging the court proceedings.
Senator Thomas Byrne has moved an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate on the Priory Hall residents and the efforts that the Government is making to resolve the issue be taken today". Is the amendment being pressed?
Comment on this
In light of the Leader's reasonableness on the other matter and in light of the court proceedings that are under way, as pointed by Senator Hayden and myself, I withdraw the amendment.
I thank the Leader for his reasonable approach to No. 2. The Seanad is not a rubber-stamp for these issues. I also thank my party's spokesperson on European affairs for indicating his immediate availability to participate in this debate.
