Ivana Bacik (Independent)

Given the eminent history professor's clear linking of the decade of commemorations with his decision to resign, I think we will be able to debate the issues the Senator has raised. I certainly hope we can do that on 7 June. That debate has been arranged. I cannot facilitate it today but I have immense sympathy for the points the Senator made. The mergers were proposed under the previous Government and I hope we can debate them in the House.
