I wish to return to the issue of Northern Ireland. We had an interesting debate here yesterday but I believe in using the time of the Seanad effectively, so I want to ask the Minister to ensure that when we have another debate on voting rights for Northern Ireland - I agree it should be kept at the top of the agenda - it be timed so that it comes after the terms of reference of the constitutional review group have been issued. We do not want regurgitation of the same debate. The Private Members' motion was well outlined in six points but there was very poor attendance for that debate. To use our time effectively, we should ensure the debate takes place after the constitutional review group has been given its terms of reference.
