Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

If we examine the matter on an all-party basis, we should put our hands up if we got it wrong.

Having the leaving certificate exam available in the mother tongues of 22 nationalities is a remarkable achievement, a matter that Senator Fitzgerald did well to raise. He also made an affirmative reprise on the Christian Brothers, outlining what they have done for education during the past 150 years. This matter was previously raised in the House several times, including by Senator Glynn and others. In such issues, there are always up sides and down sides, but the Senator was correct to state what the Christian Brothers have done for Irish education.

Senator Norris always regarded e-voting as a gimmick. Is it not great that he can stick to his principles?
