Seanad
‹ Order of Business Speaking-time limits
Summary
The Chair reprimands Senators for exceeding time limits and warns that the remaining business may be suspended if speeches continue at length.
Some Senators are taking advantage of time. One Senator who had indicated to speak a long time ago, Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú, had to leave because he was under time pressure because some Senators have taken four or five minutes. Senators are abusing privilege. There are seven more Senators to speak and if they all want to take five minutes, I will take a sos for a half an hour and come back at 1 p.m.
