Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected the matters of Senators O’Loughlin, Sherlock, Ahearn, Malcolm Byrne, Fitzpatrick and Dolan, and they will be taken now. I regret I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Warfield on the ground that the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
