Mary Henry (Independent)

I congratulate Senators White and O'Rourke on arranging this debate. I also welcome the Minister of State and his contribution. The ushers in Leinster House are noted for their intelligence and tact, an example of which I encountered the other day. I had been to get my bus pass and I was showing it to two ushers in the hall when one of them said "I did not realise they were giving them to under age people now."
