Fairness in abortion debate scheduling
Senators object to the handling of Senator Healy Eames’s proposed abortion Bill amendment and argue that the speaking rota prevents her from placing her views on the record promptly.
This is a total disregard for women.

To be fair, I felt I got a raw deal here today. However, I will withdraw the comment but I would like you to think about what I said, a Chathaoirligh.

There is a rota system for speakers. If, for instance, Senator Cullinane wished to propose an amendment to the Order of Business, I cannot take him until it comes to his position, No. 13, on the speakers’ list. He will not be brought up the list just because he has an amendment. If Senator Healy Eames wants to move up the list to move her amendment, she should talk to the Leader or Whip of her party. I call on the Leader of the House.
