David Norris (Independent) | Oireachtas source

Senator Gilroy sought a debate on the influence of social media on the political system. I will consider arranging such a debate.

Senator Barrett asked a question about the review body to deal with Aer Lingus. The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport is keen to hear the views and input of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport and Communications. I can assure Senators that he is willing to listen to all sections involved before making a decision on the issue.

Like Senator Barrett, I note Mr. Mark Carney's observation that richer countries should support countries that are in difficulties. He also stated that Ireland cannot be compared with Greece in anyway in terms of difficulties.
