Senator Norris asked when the immigration Bill will come before the House. I will have inquiries made in that regard.

Senators McFadden and Coffey expressed strong views on criminal justice issues and what the Minister is trying to do by bringing in new legislation giving the Garda Síochána powers to raise additional evidence which they can present to the courts. I compliment the Minister on that.

On behalf of the House, I join Senators McFadden and Coffey in congratulating the Munster team. It was unreal, an outstanding performance. We all were glued to our television sets. It was timely to uplift the community in Limerick. Our hearts went out to Limerick last week and our hearts were behind Munster last night. I congratulate everyone involved on the magnificent performance.

Senator Glynn called on me to take note and, if necessary, have a debate on the television service companies that are charging for a signal where none is available. I will pass on his strong views to the Minister and see how we can progress this request.
