Seanad debates

Tuesday, 1 April 2003

Senator Norris called for a debate on Iraq and tabled a motion to that effect, seconded by Senator Ross, which appears on the Order Paper. Senator Morrissey called for a debate on transport to discuss a number of issues which have arisen recently, including the upbraiding of the Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, by the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy. I smiled when I read the newspaper reports on the matter as I could paper a wall with the letters I received from the Minister for Finance when I was Minister for Public Enterprise. It is the job of the Department of Finance to constrain spending by Ministers and ensure – Senators should pardon my awful pun – they do not go off the rails.
