Seanad treatment and guillotine

Summary

Senator Ardagh condemned the Government’s treatment of the House and urged withdrawal of the curtailment of debate. Senator Horkan then interjected supportively.

It is disgraceful that the Government is treating the Seanad in this way.

Well said.

Comment on this

This Chamber deserves to be shown due respect and it is the first time the Leader of the House has used this mechanism. The rationale for using it is sinister. I would like the Leader to withdraw it and take the opportunity to ensure he will not provide for this curtailment of the debate on the Bill.
