Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-31
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (CC), Labour Panel

On a point of clarification, arising from yesterday's proceedings, I received a number of telephone calls and emails. I wish to inform people, predominantly those listening from outside the House, that as I adjudicate on amendments to all Bills, I am governed, as Members here know, by Standing Orders. That is why amendments are ruled out of order. It is not a personal decision by me, as Chair. I wish to inform people outside the House who are watching and listening that the amendments are ruled out of order as per Standing Orders. I thank those who are watching and listening for their communication with me.
