An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2022-05-10
============================================================

Regina Doherty (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

Not at all. Senator Conway talked about the school building project and looking for a debate on it. The 9% VAT rate and staff shortage within the hospitality industry were also raised. The industry tells us often about the latter issue but I am not sure work permits for people from outside the EU are consistently the answer when we have 150,000 people on the live register. We need to think outside the box sometimes.
Senator Chambers opened today requesting a debate on childcare. I am in the lovely position of being able to say it will be happening next Tuesday.
