Vol. 210 No. 13

Business of Seanad

I have received notice from Senator Martin Conway that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to amend the Equal Status Act to prevent the Equality Tribunal from being abused by people making fictitious and unnecessary complaints.

I have also received notice from Senator Mary White of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to reform legislation relating to inquests involving Northern Ireland residents who die in the Republic of Ireland, particularly in the light of the request of the Irish Human Rights Commission and the Northern Irish Human Rights Commission on 5 May for an inquest under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights into the murder of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal in 2006; and to indicate whether he will take the necessary steps to facilitate this request.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
