Seanad Éireann debate -
Wednesday, 31 May 1933

Vol. 16 No. 22

Public Business. - Business of the Seanad.

Cathaoirleach

Senators will have noticed that Ministers in charge of Bills are occasionally put into a very awkward position by reason of having to leave the House in order to vote in a division in the other House; and the Seanad is also inconvenienced to some extent, since business is liable to be interrupted pending the Minister's return. Might I suggest to the Minister that when Ministers expect to be engaged in this House they should arrange to pair? It would be very convenient for them and for this House. I am sure there would be no difficulty in such an arrangement, and it would greatly facilitate business.

I will undertake to have the question brought up for consideration before the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. I think it would be a great convenience.

Cathaoirleach

Thank you.
