Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Dardis spoke of Archbishop Robin Eames, and mentioned that he was impervious to whatever happened. He stood for tolerance and what is good.

With regard to a debate on migration, we could raise the matter of human exploitation tomorrow. Senator Dardis mentioned the White Paper on communications in Europe, which is not yet published, and indicated that it should be debated here when it does appear. I agree with the Senator.

Senator Finucane pointed out that Ms Buckley was originally from Newcastle West. I noted this but I did not know it beforehand. We of course extend sympathy to the family. We will be dealing with important legislation tomorrow afternoon, with the Second Stage of the Road Safety Authority Bill 2004. We will have plenty of time to debate the issues. The Senator also discussed the partnership talks.

Senator Ó Murchú spoke of Archbishop Eames and referred to having the body of Thomas Kent interred in appropriate grounds rather than prison grounds. That would be the proper action to take.

Senator Terry mentioned last night's "Prime Time" programme. I heard her question to the Minister for Social and Family Affairs, Deputy Brennan, this morning on the radio and I congratulate her on it. Senator Maurice Hayes spoke of Archbishop Eames, whom he knew as a simple pastor. Senator Ross stated that for him, Archbishop Eames epitomised the Gospel and its espousal of love and tolerance.

Senator Mansergh also spoke about Archbishop Eames, whom he would of course know very well. The Senator mentioned the appalling manifestation of sectarianism in Ballymena. He talked of Tipperary town, which has its own parish or community radio. With regard to the Bill spoken of by Senator Coghlan, does he wish to press the issue now?
