The Ceann Comhairle, Verona Murphy TD, has written to all members of the Business Committee this evening following the discussion at yesterday's meeting on the recognition of technical groups where some members have publicly undertaken to support Government.
Ms Murphy invited members of the Business Committee who do not agree with the position outlined therein by the Ceann Comhairle, to make a submission to her by close of business on Wednesday next, 22 January, outlining whatever alternative process they believe should be applied.
Further to receiving any submission, “I will carefully consider the points raised and take any necessary further advice from the Office of Parliamentary Legal Advisers”.
