I am asking the Leader of the House to name Senator Ryan.
Suspension of Member.
This Bill was not properly discussed. It was rammed through by that crowd over there who have not an idea between them and who have wished for 20 years to get their own back. They are a disgrace. They never talk or reflect——
I move: "That Senator Ryan be suspended from the service of the Seanad."
The question is: "That Senator Brendan Ryan be suspended from the service of the Seanad." On that question a division has been challenged. Will Senators claiming a division please rise in their places?
More than five Senators stood.
The division will proceed.
Question put.
The Seanad divided: Tá, 27; Níl, 12.
