I noticed recently, while in the sunny south-east, that Lord Waterford was photographed in similar attire.

The House should consider Senator Norris's idea on the regeneration of Georgian houses now that Dublin has been included in the Living City initiative. Most Georgian houses in Dublin are of the size he mentioned. The scheme would fail in its primary purpose if it did not encompass all of Georgian Dublin.That does need to be examined, and perhaps we can do something about it.

I very much agree with what Senator Kelly said about the towns of Ireland. Senator Ó Murchú referred to rural matters. Towns are being decimated by all the out-of-town growth we have had. Reference was made to Loughrea, Athenry and Ballinasloe. I do not know whether they all have traffic wardens, but many other towns do, and that is having the effect of driving more people out of towns. It is something we must address. I look forward to an early debate on the matter if the Leader can arrange it.
