Vol. 232 No. 2

Business of Seanad

Standing Order 159 states: "(1) Any Standing Order or Orders of the Seanad may be suspended for the day’s sitting, and for a particular purpose, upon motion made after notice". I believe this issue should now be considered as a Standing Order 159 matter.

I have not received notice from Senator Crown in regard to the suspension under that particular Standing Order.

It is the same motion that the Cathaoirleach received earlier.

I have received notice under Standing Order 30.

My understanding was that in the event of the adjudication on Standing Order 30 being made adversely, I could immediately ask for it to be heard under Standing Order 159.

I did not advise Senator Crown on that. If Senator Crown continues to raise it under that Standing Order, the Leader of the House must be present. I ask the Senator to give us some time to contact him.

I accede to that request.
