Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Coghlan and I will have to meet.

Senator Feeney noted the dreadful upset for the woman whose bowel cancer diagnosis was not passed on to her for a year, and how the hospital claimed it was a systems failure. The Senator called for a debate on the internal management of hospitals.

Senator Henry called for a debate on third level funding. Senator White called for indigenous industry to be backed and discussed. She also spoke of rural life and development and, accordingly, is in tune with Senator Callanan on that, as she is on other matters. That is our own private party joke. I am just allowed to say it here.
