Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

It will not be taken this term.

Senator Minihan raised the issue of salmon conservation. He pointed out that 1 January is the beginning of the new salmon season and decisions on the salmon conservation report will have to be made by then.

I love hearing Senator Henry's voice on her recent radio advertisements. She raised the deplorable state of our prisons and again asked for a debate on the Inspector of Prisons and Places of Detention 2005 report. The Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, again, wishes to deal with this matter himself so it is a question of him being available.

Senator Mooney called for a debate on road traffic safety and raised the ESRI report. I am tired of professors telling us what we should be doing with ourselves in our country and how we should not spend any more money on this, that and the other.
