May I interrupt the Senator. I have notice from Senator Gerry Reynolds regarding a motion which he wishes to move under Standing Order 29. I now call on Senator Reynolds to give notice of the motion before I give a ruling.

I wish to move a motion for the Adjournment of the Seanad on a specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration. The matter to which I refer is the need for the Minister for Agriculture and Food to intervene, as a matter of urgency, to prevent the loss of 600 jobs in Teagasc. It is my wish that the Seanad discuss this important matter. It has specific effects countrywide. Six hundred jobs are going to be axed by Teagasc by way of streamlining a so-called new part of this Government's administration. It represents a very inhuman approach.

An Leas-Chathaoirleach
I have given careful consideration to the matter raised by Senator Reynolds. I do not consider it a matter to be contemplated by Standing Order 29. Therefore, I regret that I have had to rule it out of order. I call Senator Farrell to continue.
