Order of Business amendment
The Leader changes the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill Committee Stage to 2 p.m.; Senator MacSharry presses an amendment seeking a same-day health debate on hospital CEOs’ concerns and the children’s hospital.
I propose to amend what I said earlier. No. 2, Committee Stage of the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill will commence at 2 p.m. rather than rolling over. The Minister will be available at 2 p.m.
Comment on this
Senator MacSharry has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for Health on the letter from the CEOs of four hospitals to the HSE regarding cutbacks and the future of the children's hospital be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?
