‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Judicial Appointments Bill scrutiny
Summary
Buttimer returned to the Judicial Appointments Bill, arguing that prolonged debate and repeated procedural tactics were bringing the House into disrepute; Craughwell responded that scrutiny under Standing Orders was proper and necessary.
I remember fondly the Cathaoirleach's opposition to the Harbours Bill and his stirring and steadfast defence of his views on it. Other Members may have learned from that in their deliberations on the Judicial Appointments Bill. However, Senator Craughwell protests too much.
