Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I support Senator Brian Hayes's call for further debate on electronic voting. Not only are there questions about the security of the system, but voters have not been given any information on it. What training is in place for presiding officers and polling clerks? Notwithstanding what Senator Finucane said about the appalling practice in some places of presiding officers not stamping ballots, we need to hear more on the issue of electronic voting.

I share Senator O'Toole's sentiments with regard to Bartragh Island in Killala Bay. Slugs, snails, toads and insect life have done well on account of all the eco-friendly, nature-friendly places throughout the land. In particular, the natterjack toad has survived very healthily on the famous Dooks links between Glenbeigh and Killorglin. As the Cathaoirleach would probably know, the natterjack toad is the emblem of the club.
