Shergar matter and urgent statement request
Power said he would seek to raise the Shergar matter on the Adjournment and urged the Minister to make a statement, stressing its urgency. The Chair said he would consider the requests and communicate with Power.
A Cheann Comhairle I put down a Private Notice Question concerning Shergar. While I accept your right to refuse that question, lest you are under the impression that the matter is not of importance and urgency I should like to give notice that I wish to raise it on the Adjournment even though this may be at a late hour.
Comment on this
I want to impress on you that, while there may be other requests to raise matters on the Adjournment, because of the season of the year this is a matter of urgency not only in my constituency but worldwide. I hope the Minister will be able to make a statement today.
