Seanad debate should not descend into 'personal' remarks - Howlin

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform said the debate on the abolition of the Seanad should not descend into one involving personal animosity or personal commentary.

Brendan Howlin made the comments following a controversial debate in the Seanad yesterday, during which Independent Senator David Norris made remarks about Fine Gael TD Regina Doherty.
