An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2023-06-15
============================================================

Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

As I was listening here today, I was somewhat amazed by the contributions. It is always great to sit in on the Order of Business because one sees that varied array of asks, while remembering that the majority of this House is in government. I am always amazed on a Thursday morning to listen to "Morning Ireland" and hear, "Well, usually on Wednesday, they tell you what they are going to tell you at the parliamentary party because of their leaks and, on Thursday, they will tell you what the officials said about it." However, I am not a member of any parliamentary party, so I do not have that added layer of contact. My office is very close to the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party meeting room, so I come across sometimes very few or very many on the corridor. That is an indicator of that activity going on in that corridor. What I can say is that-----
