——and the European elections. We will have to wait for 1 May to get the report from the good men and true of the relevant committee on electronic voting.

Senator Feighan has consistently raised the question of the 2,000 extra gardaí. He said that he has been threatened in recent times on many occasions in his own emporium.

Senator Mansergh noted that it was a mark of strength for people to change their minds when a matter was being reviewed. On the Barron report, we are awaiting notification from the Taoiseach's office that it can be debated in the Seanad because it has to be discussed in the both Houses. It is hoped that notification will have been received when the Houses resume afterEaster and that it can be done then.

Senator Browne, noting that 100 people had died, asked about the dedicated traffic corps. He also raised the question of primary teachers and asked about the purpose of salaries for those conducting tribunals.

Senator Glynn talked about the plight of all persuasions in the North and referred to the fact that some of the security forces who are supposed to be in charge are invoking other methods of doing their business. His views on drugs coincide with those of Senator Brady and we will try to have a comprehensive debate on this subject after Easter.

I wish the Cathaoirleach and all the Members of the House a happy Easter.
