Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Leyden referred to the Health (Amendment) Act. He said that the IMO must have a veto on all health Bills. He made an important point about a rolling debate on health issues, which would be wonderful. However, we cannot just debate health matters. We must have an agenda for each of those rolling debates so questions will be answered. However, that is a very fine idea and Senator Paddy Burke would agree because of the situation in the Mayo General Hospital at this time.

Mention was also made of Aer Lingus and a second terminal. Those matters will be brought to Cabinet on 30 April, so there is no point in getting into a debate.
