Martin Conway investigation
Senator McCormack asked the Leader to have the Tánaiste make a statement on Fine Gael's investigation into Senator Martin Conway. The Cathaoirleach ruled the request out of order; Senators Clifford-Lee and McCormack briefly protested before the chair repeated that it was not appropriate.
In light of what has been raised in relation to Fine Gael Senator, Martin Conway, can I ask the Leader of the House to request that the Tánaiste, Simon Harris, make himself available to this House so he can make a statement regarding his party's investigation into Senator Martin Conway for inappropriate behaviour towards a female staff member?

I think that it is appropriate, given that this is now my new place of employment.

The Senator must make herself familiar with Standing Orders. That is not appropriate.
