Debate on escalating gun crime
Senator Ardagh proposes bringing the Tánaiste to the House on escalating gun crime, then withdraws the amendment after the Leader agrees to seek ministerial attendance.
The Leader might sit down. Senator Catherine Ardagh has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That the Tánaiste address the House on the escalation in gun crime."

In view of the Leader's comments, does Senator Catherine Ardagh wish to withdraw her amendment?

I will withdraw it on the basis that the Minister will attend the House today.

I cannot guarantee that, as the Minister will be present for two hours to deal with a particular issue, but I will be happy to try to arrange for her to attend either this week or next week.

I thank the Leader. That is perfect.
