Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I hope so. We will see what transpires today. Senator Cummins raised the issue of proof of age because passports are too precious to be waved about on entering discos or bars. He suggested there should be some other method of identification used that is not so valuable.

Senator O'Meara called for a debate on accident and emergency departments. Senator Bannon called for a debate on the nitrates directive. We do not believe it is a matter for resignation, but we should like a debate on it.

I wish Senator White good luck with the new policy and the convention in particular.
