Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I agree with Senators' comments on the transfer of Guinness freight from rail to road and call for a debate on the matter. I also support Senator Henry on the lone-parent issue, which arose during yesterday's discussion on the Social Welfare Law Reform and Pensions Bill 2006. A recently published report on the matter called for a detailed discussion and statements on the new policy, structures and entitlements. Will the Leader ask the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to attend the House to discuss the report?
