Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I commend the Government and the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney, and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy Dermot Ahern, on the speedy action in the closure of head shops. I welcome the fact that the head shop in Roscommon, called High Times, has closed, according to the Joe Duffy radio show. I commend Jacqui Snype, who headed the campaign, and the people in Roscommon who protested regularly outside that shop. It is a great relief to all concerned. Senator O'Toole was very fair and Senator Wilson has been involved in the campaign from the start. We in the House have supported him in those issues and we deserve credit for taking on the issue and the Leader deserves it for arranging a debate in this regard.

Will the Leader consider a debate on the role of the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland and the sector in general?

Last night, we were given doom and gloom. At 8.30 p.m., it was about business. At 9.35 p.m., the "Aftershock" programme was shown. Between 10.35 p.m. and 11.40 p.m., Pat Kenny was on air.
