Seanad
‹ Order of Business Members reading prepared scripts
Summary
Senators defend Members’ right to consult scripts during speeches, arguing that flexibility improves participation and the quality of debate.
I distance myself from Senator David Norris's comments earlier. I am the only Member who physically cannot read a script, but I would love to be able to do so. If I were, perhaps my contributions might be far better. I think it is good that Members can consult a script.
