An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2025-11-19
============================================================

Joe Conway (IND), Cultural and Educational Panel

On a point of order, I would like to apologise for my exuberant use of the phrase "laying into", but I also take issue with the Deputy Leader in suggesting that I would lay into anybody because they are a female Minister. That was a wholly pusillanimous comment that I would treat a female in any other way, in making a gender-based comment. I ask the Deputy Leader to withdraw that.
