Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senator Harris has enhanced the House by his membership. I fully agree with his remarks and salute Edna O'Brien. The Senator pointed out to the House the great work that is in progress and the wonderful contribution she has made.

Senator Buttimer called for a debate on alcohol and related problems. Such a debate should take place here once every year. I am pleased to inform the House that next Friday in Castlepollard at 8 p.m. I will be the recipient of the gold pin. Long may it continue.
