Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

We will resurrect the Bill.

Senator Hanafin spoke about the railways and Saddam Hussein, two issues on which the House is in general agreement. Senator Quinn raised the matter of the 20th anniversary of the Stardust disaster and the fact that fire safety emergency regulations, expected in the early summer, have not yet come before the House. We will make inquiries on the matter.

Senator Coonan also raised the issue of rail services, particularly in the context of his own part of the country. He also raised the question regarding the Real IRA on which I listened to the Taoiseach yesterday give a comprehensive answer in the Dáil. We must pay tribute to the work of Fr. Alex Reid and his role in the peace process.

Senator Coghlan raised the issue of the Flood tribunal report three weeks ago, before it became an issue, and again raised it today. Senator Browne addressed the matters of the penalty points system and road transport which is a separate issue to the possible closure of freight lines and could perhaps form the basis of another debate. He also wants to have the dual mandate issue discussed for which we will need to send for Deputy Healy-Rae.
