Election of Acting Chairperson
Seanad Éireann — 2023-06-20
============================================================

Clerk of the Seanad

I have to inform the House that, in accordance with Standing Order 12, as both the Cathaoirleach and the Leas-Chathaoirleach are absent from this meeting of the Seanad, it will be necessary therefore to elect a Member to perform the duties devolving upon, and exercise the authority conferred upon, the Cathaoirleach by Standing Orders for the period of absence of both. I will take proposals for Acting Chairperson.

Ned O'Sullivan (FF), Labour Panel

I propose Senator Seán Kyne.

Clerk of the Seanad

Is it agreed that Senator Seán Kyne be elected Acting Chairperson? Agreed. I call Senator Kyne to take the Chair.
