It should be. Senators are very aggrieved.

I want to raise two other matters, one of which was raised last week by Senator O'Toole, that is, the question of the monitors in the House. He queried the reason they were in place. There was a humorous play on it. It would be very helpful if the names of Senators were indicated as it would be of enormous help in identifying new Members, of whom there is such an enormous influx. I read in The Irish Times last week of a Senator "Marie, say yes," an Independent Senator who spoke at some length. I would like to meet the lady. It does not sound from her surname that she is an Independent at all. It sounds as if she is a Taoiseach's nominee.

I want to follow up on the excellent inquiry of Senator Mansergh last week and ask the Leader if there has been any further development in the matter which relates to the threat by republicans to the lives of workmen reinstating the monument erected by the loyal citizens of Kingstown in commemoration of a visit by her late Imperial Majesty, Queen Victoria. Is there an up-date on the issue?
