Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Ross also raised the Revenue Commissioners' alleged lack of urgency in sentencing, arresting or fining offenders. Senator Ormonde requested debates on sentencing and the hospital consultants' dispute. She also referred to women who engage in lap dancing.

Senator Coghlan requested a debate on electronic voting. In that context, it is hoped the Attorney General will give a decision on the principal issue of whether the legislation should be primary or secondary. Senator Coghlan also raised the issue of the secrecy of the ballot and the auctioneering review. Senator Browne requested a debate on autism and he is correct that No. 11 on the Order Paper is a resumption of that debate. I will seek to have that debate resumed.
