Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-12
============================================================

Malcolm Byrne (FF), Cultural and Educational Panel

It is essential to note that this legislation is not guillotined and is being allowed to be continued. That was something the Government agreed to do because there was a request and a perception earlier that this Bill was rushed. It was not a question that it was rushed but it was, quite frankly, that people were speaking too long on the particular amendments.
However, it is going to be difficult to see that guillotines will not be provided for in the future if people feel that they have to speak ad infinitum on particular matters.
