Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senator Keaveney called for a debate on analogue and digital television signals. I have no difficulty in arranging time for that matter. She also called for a debate on corruption in sport. I will see what I can do to facilitate such a debate.

Senator Bacik sought a debate on prisons, an issue which we debated last week, and outlined her strong views on the matter. Yesterday I made a commitment to Senator Mullen regarding the prison chaplains who had expressed forthright views on the prison system and I fully support their plight. I will do all I can to see what the Upper House can do on this urgent matter. Senator Bacik also asked the timeframe for the Student Support Bill 2008. I think it is only a matter of weeks.
