Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I agree with the Taoiseach and I accept what he says about the expulsion of a Member from the House, which is fair enough. We need to send a very clear signal of our view of this. It just happens to be this particular Deputy at this time. We need to send a signal to the public. While the Government makes up its mind whether it will support the censure motion, can I ask that it be taken in Government time? Regardless of its position on the motion - I would like to think it would support it - can it be taken in Government time this evening so that we are not still talking about this matter in two or three weeks time?
