Senator Daly reports

I am honoured to have been elected Cathoirleach Seanad Éireann on the 29th of June. As the first person from Kerry to hold this office and the second youngest of the 24 Cathoirleach elected since the foundation of the state, this is a great priv ilege. I will continue to be available to assist with any and all queries.
The position of Cathoirleach is provided for in the constitution. Some of the role and responsibilities of the Cathoirleach are set out in the Constitution, the Standing Orders of Seanad Éireann and in legislation. The responsibilities include being “the judge of order in the Seanad” and being a member of the Council of State and the Presidential Commission.
