Senator Coghlan also asked about the groceries order. I only heard the Tánaiste talk about the size of stores and supermarkets. I did not hear anything about the groceries order. As there were articles published afterwards, perhaps she is considering it. If she is, she will come to the House and discuss it.

Senator Norris asked if and why the Irish delegation abstained in a debate on human rights and sexual orientation at the United Nations. We should inquire into the matter and bring the debate to this House. With regard to post-war Iraq, I agree with the Senator. It is one of the two matters which constantly arise in the House on which I am trying to arrange a debate next week. The Senator mentioned that St. Mary's Church was to be a super pub, which sounds horrendous, and that heritage grants would be provided for the conversion, which I doubt.
