- Seanad: Matter raised under Standing Order 30. (18 Nov 2004)
Brian Hayes: I thank the Acting Leader for coming into the House to hear the point I wish to raise. Last Monday, on "Questions and Answers", John Kelleher who is the Irish film censor made a point which he made in last year's annual report to the Government that I wish to amplify.
