Paul Gavan: I agree with Senator O'Reilly on the important role played by the Council of Europe.

It will become much more important in the months ahead. The topic I wish to raise relates to an...

Is the Minister in a position to give a guarantee that the same fees will apply to students...

Paul Gavan: I raise the issue of Limerick being top of the league in regard to patients on trolleys. This morning, there were 45 patients on trolleys in University Hospital Limerick.

It beggars belief when the...
