REPORT

1. The Committee on Procedure and Privileges has had under consideration the position of an Attorney General who by virtue of membership of Dáil Éireann may be put in charge of a Government Bill during its passage through that House or be concerned with other Government business coming before either House.

2. The Committee considers that in such circumstances the Attorney General should be accorded the same right to attend and be heard in Seanad Éireann as a Parliamentary Secretary who is a member of Dáil Éireann.

3. Accordingly the Committee recommends that Standing Order 45 of the Standing Orders relative to Public Business be amended by the deletion of “A Parliamentary Secretary who is not a member of the Seanad” and the substitution of “A Parliamentary Secretary or Attorney General who is a member of the Dáil”.
