Mortgage arrears amendment
Senator Leyden seconds the proposed amendment to secure a mortgage-arrears debate, while colleagues exchange brief good wishes with Senator Norris and the Chair seeks a question.
I second the Leader of the Opposition’s proposed amendment to the Order of Business. I also wish our colleague, Senator David Norris, good luck in his cancer treatment. As I was away last week attending a Council of Europe plenary session, I did not have an opportunity to welcome him back to the Seanad, to which he has made an enormous contribution. The people will respond to this when they have an opportunity to vote against the abolition of this House. His work has been immense. I worked with him in Kenya where he raised important issues.
Comment on this
We need the Senator to save the Seanad. My comments were made on that basis.
