Maurice Hayes (Independent)

In view of the rate of traffic accidents, will the Leader arrange for a debate on road safety? It might be worthwhile examining the experience in Northern Ireland where for the first time the number of accidents has decreased substantially. They must be doing something right so it would be interesting to see what it is.

I support the request for a debate on Northern Ireland, which would be timely. I also support Senator Norris's request for action on civil partnerships, which is a running sore.

Does the Leader have a date on which the order for the Garda Ombudsman Commission will be brought before the House? According to the draft Order Paper I thought it would be today. It is a matter of some urgency.
