Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

This is all very stirring.

The acting leader of the Opposition, Senator Finucane, talked about the report by the National Competitiveness Council and Forfás and again invited the Tánaiste to attend the House. She has assured me that she will do so at a time suitable to her and the House. We might then debate the report.

Senator O'Toole requested a debate on the 15 page document issued by the Government last week. Another document has now been produced.
