Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The Senator spoke about ESB bills and how energy costs have risen by 45% and felt that the Minister responsible should come to the House and debate the matter. Senator Hanafin spoke about telephone charges and also asked for a debate on An Post. He asked for that before Christmas, as did other people. We have a debate scheduled for next week but I hope no one calls for it to be cancelled. Every time I have looked for a debate on this, I have been told it is not the right time and is not suitable. We must debate the matter, so it has been scheduled for next week.
