Tony Kett (Fianna Fail)

I support the call made by Senator Terry yesterday for a debate on facilities for people with a disability because it will give us the opportunity to reflect on the many fine initiatives taken over the past six years in terms of residential care, day care facilities and special needs assistants, to mention but a few. As the Minister finalises the disability Bill, it would also give us the opportunity to make our own input into the final stages of that legislation in terms of what needs to be done. Senator Terry is right. More needs to be done.

In respect of what Senator O'Meara said about the programme last night, I believe a tape of the programme should be sent to every school in the country.
