Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senators Fitzgerald, O'Toole, Hannigan, Boyle, Coghlan, Ormonde, Glynn and Healy Eames called for various matters to be discussed and given importance. Matters pertaining to the budget can be discussed in the House during the debate on the Finance Bill. However, I am endeavouring to have a major debate where Senators can express their views to the Minister for Finance, early next week if at all possible, because we are awaiting the PricewaterhouseCoopers report, which is with the Government, and other events that will happen this week.
