Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

That is fair enough. We cannot force the Senator to speak.

Senator Mooney talked about a knee-jerk reaction to the television programme. I am glad I had a knee-jerk reaction to the programme. One could not but feel intensely emotional about it and if that is a knee-jerk reaction, what harm? It is proper that we felt that emotion.

The Senator said he had good experiences of the support services in the north west, which is welcome. He talked about having a debate on the services for those over 18 but I would prefer to narrow the debate to mental services for youth. We will endeavour to have that.
