Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I am endeavouring to say it as it is. Senator Bannon also asked for flood relief to be allocated to the counties which suffered from flooding at the weekend. He did not refer to any county in particular.

Senator Dooley raised the issue of water quality in the context of the failure of a €2 million water treatment system in Ennis, County Clare, to rectify the water problems there.

Senator Quinn mentioned Professor Risteárd Mulcahy, who has written a book about the need for people to be proactive about health matters. I read the article in today's The Irish Times, in which Professor Mulcahy said one can be the master of one's quality of health by doing something about it, such as going for walks and eating the right food, etc. Professor Mulcahy is an example of that.
