Speaker rotation explained

Summary

The Leas-Chathaoirleach briefly explained how speakers are being selected by party rotation and time of arrival.

Joe O'Reilly An Leas-Chathaoirleach Fine Gael

To explain to Members, we are operating two forms of selection for speakers. One is rotation of parties and the other is rotation of time of arrival into the Chamber. That is to explain for those who may feel they have been here a while and see a Senator from another party coming in. It is party rotation and then time of arrival. I know there is no difficulty but just to clarify that I am not exercising some subjective approach of my own.
