Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)

I support the call for a debate on the framework document the social partners are working on and I have no doubt the Leader will agree to it. I look forward to participation in the debate over the next few days or weeks, whenever it can be fitted into our schedule.

I refer to a comment made by Senator Donohoe about the Taoiseach. He gave the impression that the Taoiseach would be on the ski slopes, having a nice weekend. It is a slightly unfair slant and, from the smirk on his face, he knows that.
