Seanad
‹ Order of Business Standards for elected representatives
Summary
Senator Keane asks whether Standing Orders can require elected representatives to uphold the law and provide penalties for breaches.
The head of the Garda special detective unit will be in court objecting in the strongest possible terms to bail. Is there anything in Standing Orders in this or the other House that ensures people elected to uphold the law shall uphold the law, themselves and by example, and provides for penalties in that regard? I ask for a review of Standing Orders to include something about it.
