As Senators on all sides of the House have said, he has also put a spotlight on the very important issue of organ donation which we neglected for too long. My party when in Government also did so. Here Senator Daly in recalling this House to debate this motion has deservedly put the spotlight clearly on that area. There are people like Joe Burke from Bantry on dialysis machines throughout the country waiting for organ donation. I wish them all well. I ask the public to be more forthcoming and generous in signing up to organ donation - a 5% or 10% increase would work wonders. Hats and caps off to Senator Daly for what he is trying to do. If he fails, he will not have totally failed because he has put pressure on an issue that should have been dealt with ten, 15 or 20 years ago.
