Address to Seanad Éireann by An Taoiseach
Seanad Éireann — 2023-09-28
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (CC), Labour Panel

I welcome the delegation from the Kildare branch of Down Syndrome Ireland, who are here with Senator O'Loughlin.
I thank the Taoiseach for facilitating the extension of the debate. Twenty-nine Senators have spoken. The Chair does not set the order of speakers, in case people were wondering, and the co-operation of the majority of Members of the House is welcome. To those who do not understand Standing Orders, I ask them to become acquainted with them in order that they will understand how the House is run. The Taoiseach has had a long morning with us and I thank him for his patience and courtesy in extending the time. I understand he has another engagement at 12.15 p.m.
