Urgent question on Namibia
Flaherty challenged the ruling that her Namibia question lacked urgency, citing the threat of South African remobilization, and requested an Adjournment debate. The Chair said he would communicate with her.
On a point of order, I would express my disappointment that the Chair ruled out of order my question in relation to Namibia.
Comment on this
I want to turn it into a point of order. I would argue the urgency, in that by the time this Dáil resumes again the election process will either have commenced or have been disrupted in Namibia, based on the threat from the South Africans last night to remobilise their forces. I fail to understand how the Chair ruled my question out on the basis of lack of urgency, but I now seek the Chair's indulgence in allowing me to raise this on the Adjournment this evening.
