I did not know that Senator Leyden was a former member of the Curragh prison visiting committee. Senator Leyden said the prison officers should meet with the Minister's officials at the Labour Relations Commission.

Senator John Paul Phelan raised the matter of planning. Senator Brennan raised the matter of stem cell research. Senator Feighan raised the Hanly report and while I am aware of the meeting in Athlone, I did not attend it.
