I have notice from Senator Gallagher regarding a motion he wishes to raise under Standing Order 29. I call the Senator to give notice of the motion before I give my ruling.
Request under Standing Order 29.
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 closure of the Seagate plant in Clonmel with the loss of 1,400 jobs.
I have given careful consideration to the matter raised by Senator Gallagher. As statements on Seagate are being taken at 2 p.m., I regret I must rule the matter out of order.
