Of the matters raised by Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators Dolan, Keogan, McGreehan and Boyhan and they will be taken now. I regret that I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Currie 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 that they wish to raise.
