An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2020-11-24
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

We have operated a system due to Covid-19 where people are asked to submit names. This is for the safety of everyone in the House. Senator Buttimer's name is on the list today. His name will be called, as will everybody else. I know people watch other Members come in and wonder why they are called to speak ahead of them. That is because we are operating this particular system. Under the old system, people would just come in and be taken in the order in which they arrived, as best we could.
