I do not see the need for video cameras at GAA championship matches either. It may be due to over-zealousness. In general, GAA matches and all matches are very well supported by enthusiasts but not by those bent on any type of hooliganism.

Senator Leyden praised the Garda. He spoke about the need for a debate on the crisis in Palestine. Senator Coghlan also spoke about the case of the schools in Ventry. He spoke about the Shannon stopover. I hope to arrange a debate on that issue to inform the House on the intentions of the Minister and the Government.

Senator Mooney asked for a debate on neutrality and expressed interesting views on that subject and on the Israeli defence forces. Senator McCarthy asked for a debate on the rising cost of living. I believe, with tongue in cheek, he had a suggestion for Senator Leyden in that regard.
