Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

In regard to conduct at election time, Senator Buttimer has brought the word "conduct" to my attention. Those who go on pilgrimage should be allowed a postal vote. This is not always the case, however.

Senator Walsh called for a debate on equality issues. I have no difficulty in allocating time for this issue. Senator Healy Eames referred to the dreadful death of Melissa Mahon. This has happened too often in our country and the fear has to be put in the law.
