Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I support the call by Senators Brian Hayes and O'Toole for a debate on child abuse and hope the Leader can accede to their request. I do not want to be repetitive, but the points they made are meritorious and of major concern to Church and State.

I support the call by Senator Ryan for a debate on the interim reports of Mr. Justice Flood and Ms Justice Lindsay. Can the Leader tell the House today when we will have a debate on these matters?
