I hope its members are full of fear and trembling today.

Senator Cummins raised a serious and startling issue. I met a woman whose husband had been taken in by one of the posters on the road to Waterford, which I myself saw, which proclaimed that the advertiser could cure cancer. Imagine putting that up on a poster in a field. Senator McCarthy raised the issue of advertising standards, saying that they need to be more specific, and I will come to that.

Senator Maurice Hayes welcomed his friends and neighbours, who are extremely formidable. He is formidable himself. He also spoke of the extensive health areas which must be dealt with and age-related diseases. I share his thoughts on that matter.
