I was disappointed to notice on my way to work this morning that the Government Publications Sales office on Molesworth Street is to close. Senators know this is an important repository of Government publications such as Bills, tribunal reports and election results. Will the Leader ascertain what proposals are in place to find an alternative outlet for such important publications? It was ideally located close to the Houses and the public had access to these documents. Any attempt to reduce public access to this information would be highly regrettable. I hope a plan is in place to rectify this.

Will the Leader ascertain whether it is intended, as is the norm, to publish in book form the results of the Seanad election in 2011? It is 18 months since the election and I am surprised this publication is not available to us.
