I have considered a request from Senator Mary Robinson to raise, on the motion for the Adjournment this evening, the following matter:
The amendment of the Members' contributory pension scheme to provide equality of treatment for male and female Members in the provision of benefits to dependants, following the Labour Court determination of 7 May 1979.
I rule that this matter is not admissible for discussion on the Adjournment on the ground that it would involve amending legislation.
