Seanad debates

John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)

There is no doubt the Travers report is eagerly awaited and there is much speculation about its contents. It is also clear that the House should debate a report of such importance. It is worth pointing out, however, that tomorrow the House will consider the Health (Amendment) Bill 2005 for three hours on Second Stage. In effect that will become a debate on the Travers report if that report is available to us. I am sure many of the contributions will reflect that, so the proposed debate can in effect be held within the existing proposed business for tomorrow.

I understand the Cathaoirleach's stricture about congratulating people. Nevertheless, congratulations are due to David Gillick for winning the 400 m and Alistair Cragg for winning the 3,000 m in the European indoor athletics championships.
