I regard the matters raised by Senators Victor Boyhan, Lorraine Clifford-Lee, Máire Devine, Frank Feighan, Aidan Davitt, Gerald Nash and Colm Burke as suitable for discussion. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Victor Boyhan, Lorraine Clifford-Lee, Máire Devine and Frank Feighan and they will be taken now. Senators Aidan Davitt, Gerald Nash and Colm Burke may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise. I regret that I have had to rule out of order the matter submitted by Senator Tim Lombard on the grounds that the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
