The Leas-Chathaoirleach might be aware that a number of US Representatives and Senators have begun a sit-in at the US House of Representatives. They started yesterday and the aim of their effort is to force Congress to finally consider introducing stricter gun controls. I offer my support to them in making their request, remembering, in particular, those who died in Orlando and, closer to home, the violent death of the MP, Jo Cox. I ask the House to join me in supporting the action which is led by the US Representative from Georgia, Mr. John Lewis, who is no stranger to organising sit-ins.
