I move:


That Seanad Éireann: bearing in mind the specific matters considered by Government to be of significant public concern arising from the fatal shooting of Ronan MacLochlainn by members of the Garda Síochána during the course of an attempted armed robbery of a Securicor van in Co. Wicklow on 1st May, 1998;
and noting that it is the opinion of the Government that a Commission of Investigation represents the best method of addressing the issues involved;
and further noting that a draft of the proposed Commission of Investigation (Ronan MacLochlainn) Order 2014 and a statement of the reasons for establishing the commission have been laid before Seanad Éireann resolves to approve the draft."

Question put and agreed to.
