Order of Business
The Leader outlined the day’s business and Members welcomed visitors to the Gallery.
The Order of Business is No. 1, Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017 - Committee Stage (resumed), to be taken at 4.45 p.m. and to adjourn at 7 p.m.; and No. 2, Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions (Amendment) Bill 2019, Order for Second Stage and Second Stage, to be taken at 7 p.m., with the contributions of spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes and those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes.
With the indulgence of the Cathaoirleach, I welcome to the Gallery members of the Minane Bridge community alert group who are friends of Senator Tim Lombard.
The group does tremendous work in the community. I hope that its members have a good day in Leinster House.
Comment on this
As a Corkman, I also welcome the people from Minane Bridge and wish them an enjoyable day in Leinster House.
Before I call the next speaker, I am sure that Members will wish to join me in welcoming Senator Lawless's brother, Gerald, his brother-in-law Patrick O'Toole and friends from Galway. We have Cork versus Galway in the Public Gallery. On my behalf and on that of all my colleagues in Seanad Éireann, I extend a warm welcome to everyone. I hope our visitors have an enjoyable day in Leinster House.
