For the purpose of clarification may I ask that the Leader's office circulate what happens at the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality to all members, in order that-----

I do not think-----

That would not be appropriate for the Leader.

As so much of this is going through on the nod at committee level, we want to see what scrutiny actually take place.

I object. A debate was called for yesterday on the two motions.

Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

We do not want a debate on this issue.

Mark Daly (Fianna Fail)

If the Senator objects I will call a vote on this.

I suggest this is a matter that can be raised on the Order of Business again.

On a point of order, these matters relate to functions of the Seanad where we have equal power with the Dáil. We have no 90 day function, we have equal power. If we do not approve of this motion it does not get passed.

Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

That is not a point of order.

Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)

It is as simple as that. We need to take our responsibility seriously or not exercise it.

Agreed.
