It is important we debate these issues in the Seanad. Perhaps there should not be so much concern about the Occupy Galway group. Come the Volvo Ocean race, I expect there will be many other people protesting at the cutbacks and the austerity measures being brought in by the Government. Attention should be focused on that rather than on the Occupy Galway people, who are protesting peacefully.
