Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)

I ask the Leader to request that the Minister come to the House to explain why so much money was spent on a PR campaign on electronic voting when so little is being spent on the important issue of registering voters. The Minister's priorities are wrong.

I also ask the Leader to arrange a debate on the important issue of AIDS and the massive impact of the epidemic on Africa. Although the matter may have been raised earlier in the week, I ask that the Leader give it priority in light of the comments made at the world conference on AIDS in Dublin this week that countries in Africa are effectively dying on their feet due to poverty and cannot afford to pay for drugs which are keeping people in the west alive. We should debate the responsibility and role of the western world in changing world policy with regard to this disaster.
