Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

It is a great development. Senator Quinn raised the status of the debate ordered for next week. We will have plenty of time to tease out issues. He also referred to Mr. O'Kennedy receiving an award, which I understand was made in recognition of his work in developing relationships as joint chair of the British-Irish Interparliamentary Body. I am rather ambivalent about receiving honours from another country.
