The whip should be removed in respect of Private Members' motions in particular. Many Senators, including myself, have been obliged to sit here frustrated because we were obliged by our party Whips to vote against good Private Members' motions. I ask the Taoiseach to ensure that the whip relating to such motions be removed in order that we might achieve cross-party agreement on many worthy issues.
