Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Ryan then raised the issue of the honorary degrees for the captains of the two Ryder Cup teams. I was surprised by this myself. The parent body of NUI was not brought into the discussions apparently. He also raised the issue of the medical equipment which would have helped a young woman travelling on a major airline. The whole matter was sad.

He also asked about the Oireachtas Library, pointing out that there is no Seanad monitor. A note has been put in about that. The refurbishment of the Oireachtas Library is almost complete and a second monitor will be placed there at the end of this week. We hope all of the work will be finished next week.
