by LiquidPaddy at 1/27/2010 10:55:58 AM
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'!!
by LiquidPaddy at 1/27/2010 11:01:25 AM
Anyone else getting a delay on the feed?

How many stages to go after this
by Francis at 1/27/2010 11:05:17 AM
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.
by LiquidPaddy at 1/27/2010 11:06:33 AM
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.

@LiquidPaddy Maybe its just the UL server on overload
by wendylimerick at 1/27/2010 11:32:26 AM

Joanna Tuffy speaking
by LiquidPaddy at 1/27/2010 11:48:30 AM
Bill is progress for the future. GLEN have welcomed the Bill, cites Fergus Ryan bill is "real and substantial progress".
by LiquidPaddy at 1/27/2010 11:50:48 AM
This is breaking up on me
by ianmcgahon at 1/27/2010 11:53:45 AM
Also - is the feed from twitter coming through?
by ianmcgahon at 1/27/2010 11:54:07 AM
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.
by LiquidPaddy at 1/27/2010 11:55:14 AM
Not sure unmarried fathers is entirely central to this particular Bill, but there is a (wider) issue around protection and rights.
by LiquidPaddy at 1/27/2010 11:56:45 AM
Need to "improve the rights" of children of civil partners. A "big part of the picture on the ground".
by LiquidPaddy at 1/27/2010 11:59:55 AM
Ah the Mammy!
