An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2024-09-25
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I am moving the amendment. To be clear, serving in these Houses is not a privilege, it is a responsibility. We are failing in that responsibility by failing to scrutinise this legislation. That is shameful. It is not just a disrespect to democracy or these Houses, or EU law, all of which is true, but, being very clear, the process being pushed through in this way, as well as the content of the Bill, are a disrespect not just to democracy but to the public.
