Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2008)

Paul Coghlan: I will come to that in one second. There seem to be different stories in this morning's newspapers regarding the intended roles of the Minister of Arts, Sport and Tourism, Deputy Cullen, and the Minister of State, Deputy Mansergh.

Paul Coghlan: The Order of Business is agreeable to this side of the House. It is disturbing that such scant regard was shown for the medical files of patients from the southern capital, as outlined on the front page of the newspaper this morning.
