Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I know but this is an issue that comes up from time to time. I remember it being raised in the Dáil when the then Taoiseach, Albert Reynolds, was interested in it.

Senator Norris mentioned Tom Hyland, with whom we had a great debate at the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs last week. He has received an honorary doctorate. The Senator also wants a special task force for Parnell Street to tackle the problem of crack cocaine there. Was the Senator present for the debate last week? I do not mean to ask in an accusatory way.
