‹ Order of Business Air pollution debate request
Summary
The Leader undertakes to raise Senator Keane’s request for a debate on air pollution and explains the reason for the delayed start of the following sitting.
Senator Keane spoke about the positive effects of the ban on smoking and called for a debate on air pollution with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan. I will bring that matter to the Minister's attention.
Senator Ó Clochartaigh asked why we are not meeting until 12.30 p.m. tomorrow. I am very surprised that a member of Sinn Féin did not know that we are honouring our dead in 1916 tomorrow morning and that is the reason we are not meeting until 12.30 p.m., but I am sure he will be here for the European Commissioner at 12.30 p.m.
