Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Lydon supported other Senators with regard to the Michael Finucane case.

Senator Browne raised the other side of yesterday's court judgment and welcomed the ruling. He referred to an interesting incident.

Senator Callanan rallied to the Minister's cause — good for him. He suggested there should be a standard set of development charges. I agree, given that they vary widely throughout the country. The Senator congratulated the Minister for Agriculture and Food and hoped to usher her into the House soon. She is the Senator's favourite, is she not?
