O'Morchoe and business amendment
Senator Norris also paid tribute to Major General O'Morchoe and supported moving the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill ahead of the Finance Bill. He argued the order should reflect timing and logic.
I was very sorry to learn of the death of Major General The O'Morchoe, head of the Murphy family. I knew him for more than 50 years. All of the old Irish families know each other, including the O'Haras and the McDermotts. We all know each other and I am very sorry he is gone. He was a general in the British Army. I think he was head of the British Legion.
Comment on this
He used to turn up at the Armistice Day ceremonies. He was a thoroughly decent, nice man.
I second Senator Craughwell's amendment to the Order of Business. It is a real pity that we will take the Finance Bill, which has no terminal point and we do not know when it will end, prior to the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill.
Surely we should take the latter and, when it is finished, enter into the indeterminate deserts of the Finance Bill. That seems logical to me. I do not understand-----
