I am reluctant to agree. On what grounds are we suspending the sitting? This is the third interruption of the debate on the Bill. I thought it was the custom when a Minister was in the Seanad that he or she would not be required to attend the other House. I accept the Leader has a difficulty with some members of his party in the other House. He might be poked by a stag.
