Seanad audio-visual room access

Summary

The Chair clarifies that Seanad Members’ rights regarding the audio-visual room remain under consideration, and Senator Zappone thanks him for confirming she may use it.

By way of clarification, the Committee on Procedure and Privileges of the Seanad has not accepted the decision of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges of the Dáil. Consequently, the view was that Seanad Members should not be treated in the same way, if the committee on Procedure and Privileges of the Dáil took a decision affecting its Members. That clarification might by useful to the Senator and the Leader.

Thank you very much, a Leas-Chathaoirligh because I have received a letter back through the ushers to say I cannot use the room.

The matter is still sub judice, but I am informing the Senator and the House of the deliberations of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges of the Seanad.
