Transport: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2022-11-09
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (FG), Labour Panel

I appreciate that but if the Leas-Chathaoirleach could indulge me for half a minute. We should not be limiting the time of debate in the House and I am not part of the Committee on Parliamentary Privileges and Oversight, but it is an erroneous decision by it to curtail the speaking time of Members. In previous contributions, Senator McDowell has spoken about how, on occasions like this we should give the proponent of a motion further time. I am disappointed to hear that proposal.
