Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2025-12-03
============================================================

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

I will not resume my seat. I am sorry but you are an impartial, non-voting Member. Even if you were not in your seat to take the vote at the time, those doors should be locked to voting Members after the period that is called. The Acting Chairperson at the time actually instructed that the doors be closed, but, still, more people opened the doors and walked in.
