Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Leyden stated the programme at Paul McCartney's concert cost €22. When I arrived home last night, I could hear the concert at great volume.

Senator O'Meara called for the publication of three reports on the health service. I wish they would be published as it would allow the House to debate them fully. I will make inquiries in this regard. She also requested that I ask the Minister for the Environment and Local Government to arrange for the recent "True Lives" documentary to be made into a video and sent to all schools. This would be particularly useful for transition year students.

Senator Mooney congratulated the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Dermot Ahern, on the deal reached between the FAI and RTE. This will prove very useful. He also called for a debate on the International Fund for Ireland.

Senator Coghlan called for a debate on the Convention on the Future of Europe and raised the rip-off culture here.
