Legislative Business

The second-last week of the Dail and Seanad Session (that's the week just finished) is always the busiest as a lot of Bills are going through in great haste - the final week is not so bad as it is generally too late for major amendments at the last minute. As the Parliamentary Labour Party's legal adviser, one of the Bills that I drafted amendments for was the Housing Bill, as Senator Dominic Hannigan kindly mentions here . This is an important Bill for local government and one of a number that are going through at present that Labour is examining closely on behalf of the public.
