Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Enumerators are paid on a per capita basis in respect of names added to the register. Therefore, there is an incentive for them to get as many names as possible. There should be uniformity across the country. This matter is worthy of a debate and I will endeavour to arrange it.

Senator O'Toole raised the matter of SSIAs and asked to be informed when the report of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board has been approved, which will happen during the next few days. Senator Morrissey raised this issue yesterday. Senator O'Toole congratulated Dr. Maurice Manning on his new position as chair of the European group of human rights institutions. That is Dr. Manning's due, as he is the ideal person to address such matters.

Senator Ryan wished to join Senator O'Toole in congratulating Dr. Manning, a previous Leader of the House, and raised the matter of Cork and Shannon airports. I fear this issue will limp along with nothing getting done.
