Seanad Éireann — 2025-06-18
============================================================

Clerk-Assistant of the Seanad

I must inform the House, pursuant to Standing Order 14, that both the Cathaoirleach and 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 now take proposals for the position of Acting Chairperson.

Ollie Crowe (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I propose Senator Pat Casey.

Paul Daly (FF), Agricultural Panel

I second that proposal.

Clerk-Assistant of the Seanad

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

Pat Casey (CC), Labour Panel

I thank the nominator and seconder for my six hours in the Chair today.
