Martin Conway investigation

Summary

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?

Sorry, Senator.

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.

That is disgraceful.
