Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

I wish to raise another issue on legislation. With regard to the petitions committee visiting us from the Czech Republic, the Leas-Cheann Comhairle may not be aware that, as Senators, Deputy Mary O'Rourke and I had the Standing Orders of the Seanad changed to provide for a Seanad petitions committee in the last session. Senator Donie Cassidy has not implemented that decision and I request the Tánaiste to have a word with him.
