Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

There are very good minds at work and we have to put our minds to work. I accept that everyone's view is important but the meetings we have had and the information we have been given is concrete and definite and the pointers are being laid out. We have a day of onerous work ahead of us and we must carry it out.

Senator McCarthy spoke about the Brennan plan and Government policy for the airports. I think it will emerge when the unions have been consulted and when the business plan has been fully accepted. He also mentioned Senator Coghlan's Bill on staged housing. I think it is a good Bill, I am partial to it, and I hope we might introduce it before the House goes into recess in July.
