Residential Tenancies and Valuation Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-07-31
============================================================

Rebecca Moynihan (LAB), Administrative Panel

I moved amendment No. 1 and did not speak to it for a specific reason. The specific reason was that Senators Boylan, Ruane, Higgins and I met for an hour before this debate to go through the amendments. For the purposes of time we discussed grouping issues and putting some amendments through a voice vote and others to a division. We did this work to try to lessen the impact on other Members of the House. As I sit here there is a back and forth with Senators getting in and making massive speeches on an amendment I have moved. I ask that Senators please not do that. If Senators are going to do this it will have been a waste of our hour before we came into the Chamber.
