And we're off, and with a better turn out today!
Leader's Questions
Leaders Questions always has a good 'turn out'
Any idea what time CP is kicking off?
Oh its first up
CP 2nd Stage resumed is first on the list
Not specificially about CP Bill.. but I'm loving Enda's quip about people's lack of faith in meetings behind closed doors... he can really stir her up. LOL at 'hiss of escaping hot air'!!
Anyone else getting a delay on the feed?
On the bill, I understand there's a committee stage and then a report stage, and thereafter the bill is voted upon - tho' I'm open to correction on the details.
My feed is a bit out of synch too (for some reason Panti's lip-synch of Brenda Power came to mind!) but there's now't we can do about it.
Just Spotted Lucinda in the House
@wendy - she won't stay
@ianmcgahon Ah why not? Has she been told to let it go?
The feed is now playing with out any sound
My feed is ok Wendy - maybe try rebooting it online?
Can we call her the 'Lesser spotted Lucinda'?
@LiquidPaddy Maybe its just the UL server on overload
@wendylimerick: perhaps try opening the Oireachtas feed to get sound?
@LiquidPaddy I have tis choppy will hang on!
The family name was flashing on the buses - priceless

Joanna Tuffy speaking
Bill is progress for the future. GLEN have welcomed the Bill, cites Fergus Ryan bill is "real and substantial progress".
This is breaking up on me
Also - is the feed from twitter coming through?
Tuffy focuses on the need to recognise more explicitly how the Bill endows rights on cohabitees. Asks will tax reforms (for civil partners) apply to cohabitees? Hopes the tax situation will sorted and clarified.
Not sure unmarried fathers is entirely central to this particular Bill, but there is a (wider) issue around protection and rights.
Need to "improve the rights" of children of civil partners. A "big part of the picture on the ground".
Ah the Mammy!
Mammy
Mary is down with the gays
Have we got the feed from twitter coming through
Mary Quoting Dermot Ahern 'You leave your Religion outside the Chamber' Bar all the Praying
