Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

The Leaders and Whips will try to correct the matter. I understood the situation to be as Senator O'Toole described. In fairness to Senator Cummins, we had an understanding that pairing happened when requested. I got an instruction from the Government Chief Whip and Senators will know that I must take instruction with regard to these matters. With the permission of the House, I propose that we have a sos from 1.30 p.m. until 1.50. p.m., if that is agreed.
