They were of all nationalities. The Senator also suggested that we consider sending a joint motion to the House of Commons on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings and other issues. That is a fair point and I will discuss it with the Senator.

Senator Henry spoke about Ethiopia and the imprisonment of people without trial. She asked for a debate on the subject given that Ethiopia is one of the so-called model countries to which we contribute aid. I will try to arrange that, even if only for a short period. Senator Cox spoke about the forthcoming review of the 1972 recruitment agency legislation and the need to debate it. Senator McHugh raised the disparity in salaries for home helps in Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal and the different times when wages are paid. He also referred to Dave Gallagher who captained the original New Zealand rugby team in 1905.
