Senator Quinn asked about the hours of opening of polling stations for the referendum. I am not sure what the hours are but I am sure they will be notified well in advance of the referendum.

Senator Keane raised the Dublin forum, which I have mentioned. She also mentioned that there could be quite a number of referenda coming up but I suspect that Members of this House will be focusing on one referendum which will be coming up in October.

Senator Ó Clochartaigh raised the EPA report on water quality. That is an important issue. He also called for a debate on the development of the regions for which we will try to have the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, come in early in the new session.

Senator Moran, on the contribution of the religious orders, stated that it is still on the agenda. It is only right that it is on the agenda. On symphysiotomy, she raised the publication of the Walsh report. The report has taken a hell of a long time and I would hope that it will be published soon. It is something that Senator Moran has raised on a constant basis in the House and I would hope that the matter will be rectified soon.

Senator Daly spoke of recalling the House on organ transplantation and he had a similar motion last year. I wonder what has happened between last year and this year that the matter has not been raised within the 12 months.
