Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

We need to have a debate on that. We also have a Senator or two down there.
I will very quickly mention another thing. Galway Bay FM has contacted me and, I am sure, most other Senators about the need for funding for reporting on local elections, local democracy issues and so on. The Taoiseach has promised that funding will be forthcoming once any European competition issues have been overcome. These stations are desperate for funding. I ask that we expedite that as quickly as possible and get them the funding they need.
I wish the Deputy Leader a happy Christmas as well. The Fianna Fáil Senators might get together to decide where they are going in the new year. We cannot have what we saw from them last night again.
