May I ask you, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, to ask the Leader of the House to give us a report on what exactly is the matter with our offices and what is being done? This may have only now come to the notice of the superintendent but I am convinced there has been a gas leak there for a while. I would like to be assured that it is——
Business of Seanad.
An Leas-Chathaoirleach
Perhaps at tea time the Leader of the House may convey whatever information he has then.
I will endeavour to find our exactly what the problem is. I do agree with Senator Fennell that this is not the first time there has been a gas leak in that particular building. We will have to get a full report on it.

You must surely indicate to me where the statement came from last week?
An Leas-Chathaoirleach
I am prepared to meet and discuss the matter with the Senator in the office as soon as I leave the Chamber.
I will do that but I also indicate to you that I intend to get the results of that discussion on the record of the House.
An Leas-Chathaoirleach
The Senator is out of order. I would like to join with the House in sending good wishes to the Cathaoirleach.
