Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I know the Senator would not. He asked about the status of Operation Anvil. I asked that question yesterday. It is alive and working.

Senator O'Meara asked for a debate on the World Trade Organisation. She also mentioned class sizes. Hopefully, the coming budget will underline the commitment to a class of 20 for children under the age of nine. That is in the joint Government statement.

Senator O'Toole called for a debate on crime and in so doing he praised the recent extraordinary work of gardaí. That should be noted. There is no point in everyone banging away and giving out about them. I thank the Senator for his comment.
