Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The Senator referred to the US citizens in Gaza and the need for a debate on that matter.

Senator Morrissey called for a debate on the links with representatives on local authorities. This topic was also mentioned by Senator Ormonde yesterday and by Senator Tuffy. There was also a reference to whether there should be bin charges. There is a respite in the debate today and hopefully that will produce a resolution. Senators Finucane, Feighan, O'Meara and Leyden requested a debate on the Hanly report, the latter in a fiery speech, and I hope to invite the Minister for Health and Children to come before the House next week to take such a debate.
