In accordance with the request of Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, for a minute's silence to commemorate the genocide in Rwanda, I call on the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach, Deputy Hanafin, to propose that we take that minute's silence now.
Rwandan Massacre Commemoration.
I propose, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders or the order of the Dáil of this day, that the House shall now observe a minute's silence on the tenth anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda and business shall resume thereafter.
Members rose.
