Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

I warmly commend the brave people who confronted and overcame raiders in a rural post office in Templederry in north Tipperary, which was once the home of patriot priest Fr. John Kenyon. I hope their action may serve as some deterrent to others who might be planning the same enterprise.

On the Order of Business, which is administered by the Cathaoirleach, in practice we seem to continue contributing thereon until approximately 11.15 a.m. This seems to allow adequate time. I would be against overexpanding the Order of Business at the expense of structured debate. We should not undervalue structured debate in this House.
