Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

I am briefing Members on what is happening in the House. The father of the House proposed an amendment to the Order of Business to debate an urgent matter and I have to take his request seriously. However, one cannot arrange a Minister to be present at five or ten minutes' notice. My telephone number is known to all Senators and if they telephone me three or four days in advance, I will do everything possible to arrange a debate.
