Vol. 186 No. 1

Public Business. - Issue of Writ—Sligo-Leitrim By-Election.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Taoiseach (Donnchadh Ó Briain)

I move:

That the Ceann Comhairle direct the Clerk of the Dáil to issue his Writ for the election of a member to fill the vacancy which has occurred in the membership of the present Dáil consequent on the death of Deputy Stephen Flynn, a member for the County Constituency of Sligo-Leitrim.

Mr. Sherwin

Perhaps I am deaf, but there is a lot of nodding of heads and no one knows what is going on. People should speak out or we should get the amplifier.

An Ceann Comhairle

We are dealing with a motion to fill a vacancy which has occurred in the membership of the Dáil.

Question put and agreed to.
