Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 66 of 66 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

The Senator is entitled to an extra minute, if she so wishes, because she was interrupted.

Senator Bacik, without interruption. I ask Senators to have respect for the rules of the House. When a Senator is on his or her feet during the Order of Business, it is that Senator's time and everybody gets his or her time.

In the first instance, Senator, your point of order is not a point of order.

Correct. Senator Mullen is aware of the rules of the House. In order for him to intervene in a debate or when another Senator is in possession, he must first ask permission under Standing Order 39. Then, it is up to the Senator who is in possession to either allow the Senator to have 30 seconds or not.

Senator Mullen is well aware of Standing Order 39, which states that if a Senator is interrupted, the Chair has the discretion to add extra time because of the interruption. That is within the Standing Orders.

There will be no problem in relation to that, Senator. When Senators are interrupting a Senator or asking to intervene in a debate when a Senator is in possession, they must simply ask permission. That is the rule of the House. Senator Mullen did not do that this morning, and if in future he wants to intervene in a debate, it is up to the Senator in possession to allow him to do so. If that Senator does not allow him to do so, I ask him to stop interrupting. I will now move on to Senator Garvey, leading off for the…

This is not a debate through the floor or across the floor. The Order of Business is on issues before the House. Issues can be raised, but please do not refer to other Senators directly or engage with other Senators directly in a debate on the Order of Business.

When the Senator raised the issue of St. John Ambulance as a Commencement matter some months ago it received widespread publicity. She may wish to raise it again as a Commencement matter.

I thank the Senator for raising that issue. The support of the US Senate for the Good Friday Agreement and the peace process is very important for maintaining peace. I call the Leader to respond to the matters raised on the Order of Business.
