Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I agree with Senator Dooley's request for a debate on the issue of competition and cartels. The "Prime Time" programme will deal with this issue tonight.

Senator McHugh spoke about the about the capital allowance scheme for hotels. He also inquired about the BMW region, an issue in which the Leas-Chathaoirleach has a keen interest.

Senator Kitt welcomed the diminution in the numbers of road traffic deaths and hopes that enforcement will continue.

Senator Henry raised the issue of electronic voting, a subject she and I discussed when we met yesterday. It is clear that the House is concerned about this issue. I will ask the Minister for the Environment and Local Government, Deputy Cullen, to come before the House to discuss it.
