Senator Minihan asked about the review of the pharmacy profession. I do not know if the Minister has received the report, but the request is timely and we will seek debate on the issue.

Senator Bannon agreed that RTE should bring forward the transmission time for "Oireachtas Report". I remember that Deputy Rabbitte, leader of the Labour Party, once said that only two groups of people watched it, insomniacs and drunkards. I think more people are sitting up late to watch it. I will request that it be brought forward.

Senator Cox spoke about maternity leave regulations. She wants me to ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, about what is happening in Europe concerning review of the regulations. She also asked about BreastCheck and mentioned the need for staff for it in the Western Health Board, particularly in the Galway region.

Senator McCarthy referred to the war. I do not intend to indict anybody. Nobody is in favour of war. Who could be in favour of a war?
