Order of Business speaking rules

Summary

The Cathaoirleach reminds Senators that second-tier speakers must raise only one issue and not stray from the rules.

Jerry Buttimer An Cathaoirleach Fine Gael

I remind all Senators that, on the Order of Business, the second tier of speakers are confined to a particular time and must raise one issue only. I have become a bit lax in enforcing this rule and Members are straying into the realm of saying what they want. All Senators should uphold the rules of the House.
