I was disappointed to notice on my way to work this morning that the Government Publications Sales office on Molesworth Street is to close. Senators know this is an important repository of Government publications such as Bills, tribunal reports and election results. Will the Leader ascertain what proposals are in place to find an alternative outlet for such important publications? It was ideally located close to the Houses and the public had access to these documents. Any attempt to reduce public access to this information would be highly regrettable. I hope a plan is in place to rectify this.

Will the Leader ascertain whether it is intended, as is the norm, to publish in book form the results of the Seanad election in 2011? It is 18 months since the election and I am surprised this publication is not available to us.

It is a matter for the Seanad returning officer.

Perhaps Senator O'Sullivan should ask her.

I am addressing it to the Leader.

The Leader has no role in it.

Nobody in the Chamber has higher respect for the returning officer than I do, but it strange that it has not been published, if I am allowed to say so.

It is being done.

I welcome this because all Members would like to be able to verify they were elected and look at it at their leisure.

The Senator was elected.

We will get it for Senator O'Sullivan for Christmas.

Thank you very much.

In the stocking.

There is a Santa.

Many local authority members would welcome a copy of it.

I know the Senator is all right with the computer system and it is on the website.

I know this and look at it occasionally to cheer myself up.

Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

He should ask him whether there is a Santa.
