Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Ulick Burke sought a debate on the system of special needs services. I am aware of several cases where glitches have occurred in the system. It would be of benefit to have such a debate.

Senator Moylan referred to road safety, dangerous roads and people from other countries driving here. He also mentioned car auctions at which one may think one is getting a great bargain but once the car is driven away it pans out the next morning. That is a consumer issue, caveat emptor— the buyer should beware of whatever is purchased because dangers may lie therein.

Senator O'Brien agreed with Senator Ulick Burke about the necessity for a debate on special needs.
