Senator Coghlan raised the issue of the e-voting machines. I hear that they will make up the first consignment of Government waste for the new incinerators.

When will we debate the report of the Barr tribunal that investigated the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. John Carthy in Abbeylara, County Longford? The tribunal was established in 2003 and concluded earlier this year. We were promised that the report would be presented to both Houses of the Oireachtas by 1 November. Will the Leader indicate if we will have this report before Christmas? People are asking about this in my clinics.
