I am obviously as interested in the state of Aer Lingus as my fellow Senators and would welcome a debate to air Members' views. Will the leaders of the Opposition parties meet me after the Order of Business to arrange time for a debate tomorrow? I spoke to the Minister today and he would like to have this opportunity to come into the House to give his views on the situation. There may be another occasion when we can debate the wider issue of unemployment in Dublin, the Guinness layoffs and so on. I would welcome such a debate.
The debate on the Opsahl report will take place next Tuesday. I would like to put on the record that, although Senator Wilson will unfortunately not be in the House, because of the level of interest in the report I am sure it will be on the agenda for further debate in the autumn.
I will pass on to the Minister and the Taoiseach the views of the House about last night's television programme on the Dublin bombings. I understand the Taoiseach has made it clear if an inquiry is necessary, he would facilitate it.
As regards Senator Lydon's request for a discussion on the enlargement of the EC, that may have to wait for another day. The last issue raised was commercial interest rates. The Minister for Finance will be in the House all day tomorrow and during the debate on the Waiver of Certain Tax, Interest and Penalties Bill, Senators may have a chance to make the points outlined today.
