Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senator Glynn made a very strong point regarding the Irish Foster Care Association and the good work being done by foster parents. He called for a debate and I certainly can leave time aside for this. There was also mention of diabetes and the dangers of the disease and everything associated with it. I know this evening in Mullingar is a big one in this regard and I have no difficulty in allocating time for the matter.

Senator Bacik asked for an update on the Climate Protection Bill, which is being taken in the next session in the spring, as I informed the Senator. It will be early next year. Senator Mary M. White called for a debate on abuse of the elderly and I have no difficulty allocating time for this also.
