#cpbill is in the Seanad today. Great round up of links/ info done by @gaelick and on www.mamanpoulet.com
Hey everyone, just letting you know I'm tweeting for @gaelick about the #cpbill
Senator Frances Fitzgerald says it's the mark of a civilised society to discuss the civil partnership bill - FG will be supporting #cpbill
Ronan Mullen is calling for a free vote on CPbill on Seanad Order of Business.
Ronan Mullen calling for a free vote and a vote of conscience on the CP Bill #cpbill
Mullen is arguing that there has not been enough debate - even in Holland he says there would be party to represent views like his and they would have a say.
He feels parties have not allowed debate and won't allow members to freely vote.
David Norris says that the motion re allowing free vote is inappropriate to call for by independents - it's a matter for parties.
Norris calls for changes to the CP bill to respect the rights of children. He appeals - and says Ombudsman for Children has said that the rights of children are being violated by not being included.
David Norris says government has opportunity, justification and reason from the Colley Report to protect rights of children #cpbill
Debate will end at 4.50pm and was due to recommence at 7.15pm. However Govt are now proposing conclusion of Second Stage at 4.50pm.
anyone else having trouble with the livestream? #cpbill
Senator John Hanafin raises disability cuts and links it to the costs for the CPbill - asks for a list of the costs of the cpbil bill. He has no shame.
I do love it when wrongs get 'rightified'. #cpbill #seanad
Shane Ross will be voting in favour of the CPbill but does want a free vote. Pascal Donohue says that independents can't tell political parties how to do their business.
Missing the #cpbill debate in the seanad, am sure some of them are making their 'opinions' known....
Noticed how bigotry is being softened to 'opposing in good conscience' #cpbill
Call to tweeters re #cpbill - anyone know where this statement is online?
bit.lyIvana Bacik says CP bill is a welcome advance in the rights for gay couples but does not go far enough. #cpbill
Bacik: Anyone who feels strongly enough to vote against the party whip on the bill are welcome and can join the independent's bench #cpbill
Have a blog in mind about these #cpbill responses, the current pollitical mood and LGBTQ rights in general. Thoughts?
3 govt senators vote against govt on amendment to order of biz? #cpbill
Can someone confirm the timing for today for the #cpbill debate - has it been cut back? @paschald @jerrybuttimer @labour ?
CP Bill starting - Dermot Ahern on now...
Dermot Ahern says there is a perception that this bill belongs to one party - he says it is not true.
#cpbill discussion underway in the Seanad
he then tries to suggest that only ff and greens definitely committed. Labour tried to bring legislation for civil unions in 2007.
Civil Partnership Bill debate commences in the Seanad #cpbill
Governement is fully committed to the inclusion of gay and lesbian couples in Ireland - Dermot Ahern #cpbill
Listening to the #cpbill debate and the Postal Service at the same time makes it sounds like an epic techno remix.
jaysus, new bill name is a mouthful #cpbill
Once he stops trying to promote FF it's good to hear him taking a strong line. He has been very consistent all the way through this.
if the bill went further it would undermine our laws and our constitution - I'm paraphrasing but that's just from Dermot Ahern #cpbill
How did we manage to have such a pro-active sensible trailblazing piece of legislation #cpbill in such a retro-conservative country? Happy!
Dermot Ahern speaking in the Seanad now #cpbill
Oh, so the #cpbill is now the #cpcrocbill?
unfourtunately, given our very conservative supreme court, Dermot is right- SC is not gonna change def of marriage #cpbill
Is watching the #cpbill in the Seanad (online)
Rights of children being reviewed by the law reform commission - making final recommendations later this year. Issue too complex for #cpbill
So they have 'worked out' the way around marriage to frame the Bill, but it was too much trouble to 'work out' something re: children and children's rights - lazy minister!!
