Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senator Coghlan has considerable personal experience in this area. I noted Senator Mullen's views on stem cell research. Senator Coghlan called for a debate on planning and expressed support for hard-working county councillors. I have no difficulty in holding an all-party debate on the issue. Senators are aware of the plight of public representatives at local authority level and support the role they play.
