Election of Cathaoirleach
Seanad Éireann — 2020-06-29
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

I thank the Senator. We discussed the issue of the gender pay gap in the lobby before we came in here. Senator Bacik and Fianna Fáil Senators, including Senator Clifford-Lee, were very much involved in that issue.
I have been told we need to pass the motion on the Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998. I am sure Senator McDowell knows the urgency of that issue. Much as I would love the Senators to keep talking nicely about me for hours on end, I ask Members to keep their contributions as brief as possible. At the same time, I am not going to stop them and tell them to sit down.
