It should be possible to get one of them to come to the House as soon as possible for a discussion on banking.
I agree with Senators, in particular Senator Mooney, who have spoken about pub opening hours on Good Friday. In this instance, it seems the campaign is being driven by the rugby authorities and a particular television company. As someone who enjoys a drink, I believe pubs should be closed on more than just two days in the year, for which a strong case is to be made. Religion should be left out of the argument.
