Marie Sherlock (LAB), Labour Panel

I extend my condolences to my Fianna Fáil colleagues and all her family on the passing of Mary O'Rourke, and also to our Fine Gael colleagues on the untimely recent passing of John Naughten.
We have seen newspaper reports in recent days about one of our elected representatives in either the Upper or Lower House being, effectively, a Russian spy. That has been treated with a degree of amusement and it should not be because it is deadly serious and it casts a cloud over us all. I would like to hear from the Leader what the Government is planning to do and also what is planned by both the Ceann Comhairle and the Cathaoirleach.
