Seanad Éireann debate -
Wednesday, 9 Jun 1993

Vol. 136 No. 11

Request under Standing Order 29.

An Leas-Chathaoirleach

I have notice from Senator Neville regarding a motion which he wishes to move under Standing Order 29. I call on Senator Neville to give notice of the motion before I give my ruling.

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 need for the Minister for Justice to introduce as a matter of extreme urgency with the Garda authorities, special arrangements to ensure that visitors to this country, especially during the peak tourist season, are not subjected to robberies, physical violence, car break-ins and other abuses.

An Leas-Chathaoirleach

I have given careful consideration to the matter raised by Senator Neville. I cannot consider it to be a matter contemplated by Standing Order 29. I regret, therefore, I have to rule it out of order.

I regret that you must do that. Perhaps the Leader of the House will allocate Private Members' time tonight to discuss this issue?
