Senator Conway raised the introduction of the Eircode system. As the Senator mentioned previously, Shannon is on move again, but I do not believe it is on the move to Limerick. He also raised the question of having minimum custodial sentences in rape cases and called for a debate on sentencing. I will try to arrange for the Minister for Justice and Equality to come into the House for such a debate early in the new session.

Senator O'Donovan raised the issue of the possible amalgamation of Cork city and county councils. Cork is the biggest county in the country. There have also been suggestions that there be an amalgamation in Galway. That follows amalgamations in Tipperary and Waterford.
