Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-01-21
============================================================

Maria Byrne (CC), Agricultural Panel

I welcome the Minister, Deputy O'Callaghan. Before we commence, I remind Senators that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage except the proposer of an amendment, who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. On Report Stage, each amendment must be seconded.
Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 are related; amendment No. 2 is consequential on amendment No. 1; and Nos. 1 and 2 may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
