Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The achievements of the Fair Trade Organisation are well documented and its coffee and tea products taste just the same if not better than other brands. Senator Quinn is well due the acclaim he has received for his endeavours in this area.

Senator Mooney observed that the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Dermot Ahern, will visit some 43 countries in his new United Nations role and expressed a desire for the Minister to come to this House to debate UN reform. I am unsure whether he will be able to drop in between his visits to the 22nd and 23rd countries but I will ask him to accommodate a debate.
