I move: "That the Seanad adjourn sine die.”
Adjournment of Seanad: Motion.
I dissent strongly from this further example of the inept ordering of Seanad business. It is particularly inconvenient to country Members to come up here for these one-day sittings and I would hope that country Members, irrespective of party affiliations, would agree with me on that point. I see no reason whatsoever why it could not be arranged that we could go on tomorrow to take No. 5, which is Government business, or, if the Minister is available, to go on to discuss one of the numerous motions which are on the agenda. Apart from any other considerations some of us at least have a duty to our constituents. I do not particularly want to stick out my neck on the Ides of March but I dissent strongly from this inadequate use of Seanad time.
Question put and agreed to.
The Seanad adjourned at 7 p.m.sine die.
