Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I support my colleague, Senator Brian Hayes, in his call for a debate on human rights and law and order, especially in Northern Ireland.

Will the Leader invite the relevant Minister in to discuss the proposed exorbitant price increase in the cost of passports? Passport costs for children aged three to 16 are being increased by 110%, which is a great deal more than the 11% being spoken about. We need to deal with the matter of stealth taxes which the Government continually introduces.
