Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The Senator referred to the Director of Corporate Enforcement and the guidelines issued by the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to State bodies and members thereof. I regard that as a very good move.

Senator Ó Murchú praised Senator Mansergh's work. I believe he echoed the views of many Senators in that regard. At that time, the Senator was Mr. Martin Mansergh and he did some fine work. Senator Ó Murchú also sought a debate, involving the Minister for Foreign Affairs, on US immigration issues.

Senator Norris referred to Mr. Colm O'Gorman and the position of the One in Four organisation. I understand the Minister for Health and Children will meet Mr. O'Gorman tomorrow and, no doubt, some statement will follow that meeting. The Senator also referred to the Taoiseach's replies in the Dáil. In relation to the refuse collection issue, the Senator drew attention to the health implications. It is noteworthy that, in a recent opinion poll, 73% of people agreed that people who have paid their refuse collection charges should have their bins collected. There is a very lopsided and wrong-headed debate on this issue. Those who pay their money are entitled to have the collection service provided. The point of the whole campaign rather escapes me.
