Summary

Senator O’Brien presses his amendment seeking a same-day debate with the Finance Minister on variable mortgage rates.

Denis O'Donovan An Leas-Chathaoirleach Fianna Fáil

I was going to suggest the Senator was being a little long-winded. I am not sure if it is appropriate for the Chair to say that, but it is said in good faith.

Senator Darragh O'Brien has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business, "That a debate with the Minister for Finance on the variable mortgage rates being charged to Irish citizens be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?
