That is an excellent idea from Senator Hanafin, with whom I totally agree. Perhaps that debate could be inclusive of the whole issue of pricing which was raised earlier by Senator Alex White. This is not just about fuel prices. I had reason to recently examine prices of other goods. Prices in the same supermarkets in the UK and Ireland, when one takes into account the currency differential, are approximately 25% higher here, and the same applies to prices in clothes stores and sandwich and burger bars. Some sort of rip-off is taking place. I would like a general debate on prices and buying Irish.

I listened to Senator Leyden's criticism of the Fine Gael website. I had cause recently to hit on a certain Senator's website. The pictures of the said Senator were from about 1970 when he had hair a lot blacker than he has now.
