Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

I want to come back here too and we will be in a much more difficult position next time than Opposition Senators. They are in a privileged position.

Senators Callely and Hanafin expressed their support for the tremendous work being done by the Minister for Finance in the national interest in very difficult circumstances. I commend the Minister, as I did yesterday, and will assist him in every possible way in these very difficult times.

Senator Callely called for the Registry of Deeds to be fully computerised in order that everyone would know, at the touch of a button, the portfolio owner of every plot of land and property in the State. It is about time this happened and I support the Senator's call.

Senator Glynn made a very good point about Standing Orders. We should do everything we can to support the office of the Cathaoirleach. I, therefore, support the Senator's expressions. He also spoke in support of the Registration of Wills Bill, introduced by Senator Leyden. I will bring this matter to the attention of the Chief Whip to see if it can be progressed.
