Vol. 108 No. 5
I have notice from Senator Joachim Loughrey that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
Postal voting irregularities in County Donegal.
I regret that I have to rule that this matter is not suitable for discussion on the Adjournment on the ground of lack of ministerial responsibility.
May I contend that in view of the fact that I raised this matter for discussion on the introduction of the postal voting regulations on 13 March, that I warned the Minister in the House——
I have ruled as Cathaoirleach and that is the end of it. I stated in a letter to you yesterday that the Minister is not responsible.
Is the Leas-Chathaoirleach satisfied if 200 to 300 people in County Donegal are going to be deprived of their votes?
I have ruled.
