It was shot down in this House. I agree, however, that we should have a debate on that matter. It is to be hoped the betting Bill will come to the House before the summer recess.

Senator Mulcahy raised the old question of the proposed bird sanctuary and the contravention of development plans. We will try to get a Minister to attend the House to discuss that issue. The Senator might also consider tabling it as an Adjournment matter.
