Seanad
‹ Order of Business Seanad grouping system
Summary
Senator Norris challenges the ruling on party groupings and argues that the Seanad’s current Order of Business arrangements should be reviewed.
I think I have heard everything now after this ruling that a Member from Fine Gael, the main Government party, is a member of the Opposition. "Ha, ha, ha" is all I can say.

A Fine Gael Member is not a member of the Opposition until and unless he or she applies to be and leaves Fine Gael. It is complete nonsense-----

Senator Norris is misunderstanding me. The Opposition speaker was Senator van Turnhout, who is in a grouping that has been there for four years.

But you said that Senator Naughton was. Anyway I forgave the Leas-Chathaoirleach. It does not matter a damn.
