Seanad
‹ Order of Business Unpaid lone-parent payments
Summary
Senator Craughwell asks for information for recipients who have not been paid, but the Chair and Leader rule that his intervention is not a point of order.
On a point of order, will a press release be issued to inform those who have not been paid? They will not have money for the weekend.
Comment on this
Members have been told by Leas-Chathaoirleach what a point of order is; many Members seek to raise points of order which are not points of order. It happens on a daily basis. It is used as an excuse by Members to make a point. Members should read Standing Orders to know what a point of order is.

There should be a tutorial on it.
