Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I agree with the Senator's comment that he regretted the disproportionate language of An Taisce.

Senator Leyden referred to the RTE programmes that have been axed, namely, "Rattlebag" and John Kelly's "Mystery Train", and asked for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to discuss the matter in the House. The Senator asked whether RTE would have more reshuffles during the recess. We hope not, particularly in terms of political programming.

Senator Terry raised the matter of events at Dublin Airport yesterday. I doubt that she was proposing Abbeyshrule as the alternative airport, which was proposed by Senator Bannon, as she was discussing a more urban setting. When I address the issues raised by Senator Bannon, I will show my support.
