Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senator Healy Eames called for a debate on education and I have no difficulty in allowing time for that.

Likewise, I have no objection to a debate on pharmacies, as called for by Senator Feeney and others. The Minister for Health and Children gave the Department's explanation in this regard two weeks ago in this House, but I have no problem in facilitating a debate.

Senators Bradford, O'Reilly and Doherty called for an urgent debate on the pig industry. I will let Members know tomorrow whether arrangements for such a debate can be agreed with the leaders and the Department. This is an urgent matter.
