Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-02-08
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

The Minister of State is very welcome. I wish to express a little frustration regarding these amendments. Sinn Féin is not opposing them but we did ask for a briefing note on them. Even from what the Minister of State has just said, there is quite a lot involved here. We did not get such a briefing note. That is not a good way to go about doing business in terms of tucking these amendments into an important Bill principally dealing with another matter. I do not know whether the Minister of State wishes to comment in that regard. It is frustrating. We should, at least, have been provided with a briefing note before discussing these amendments. We did not get one. It is poor form.
