Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

At our party meeting yesterday, Senators unanimously asked that we agree to the Private Members' motion without tabling an amendment. The office of the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche, telephoned me and said he would talk to me at the party meeting. However, owing to the prolongation of events in the other House, we did not have a meeting, and I must ring him on the conclusion of the Order of Business.
