Seanad debates

Order of Business.
I congratulate the Leader for ensuring that we do not have the same problem as the other House and arranging a full debate on stem cell research last week. We can take pride that we were ahead of the game on the issue once again because often this House is the first place that many of the important social issues of the day are raised. We should take it further, however, because we did not have a vote on the matter last week. I ask the Leader to grant more credibility to the Tánaiste's position by voting on it. We discussed it last week but we should vote to show our full support for the position the Tánaiste is taking in Europe tomorrow and say that it represents the view of at least one House of Oireachtas Éireann.
