I am sorry to say that during the debate on Seanad reform I had to point out that only about 30% of Senators were present. Some 25% are present today for the Order of Business, which is regrettable. We need to re-examine how we order the business of the House to ensure full participation. It is regrettable that the Order of Business which used to be the most vital part of the schedule for the day is diminishing all the time. I ask the Leader to look into the matter.
