I do not agree to the proposal that the Dáil adjourn today until Tuesday, 21 March 2006. As I said yesterday, Donna Cleary was murdered in the suburbs of Dublin city. Anarchy rules in parts of the city and its suburbs. Clearly, there is a need for strong, deterring legislation in respect of the gun culture properly identified by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. Emergency legislation was introduced in this House on immigration, ground rents and payments in respect of long-stay patients in public hospital beds. Some 20 to 25 sections of the Criminal Justice Bill deal with gun culture. I object to this on the basis the Dáil should meet on next Tuesday and Wednesday. Those Members who will be away all over the world will be very far removed from the anarchy on the streets of this city when they are representing their country.
