Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

We could ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to come before the House to discuss the issue.

Senator Morrissey called on the Minister for Health and Children to explain what is happening regarding the accident and emergency unit at Blanchardstown hospital. This is a free Chamber in which Members can raise issues and the Senator has raised this.

Senator Finucane again raised the issue of national car testing. People are frantic about the changes that are taking place in road safety regulations and they do not know quite where they stand. A total of 200,000 people have received notification of penalty points and they were silent during the election campaign. Who will tell a candidate calling at his or her door that he or she has been docked two points?
