Teachers’ strike amendment
Senator O’Donnell declines to press her amendment for an immediate debate with the Education Minister, while Senator Healy Eames disputes its withdrawal and seeks to have her own amendment considered.
Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for Education and Skills on the teachers' strike be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?
