The matters raised by Senators Frank Feighan, Lorraine-Clifford Lee, Rose Conway-Walsh, Michelle Mulherin, Martin Conway and Colm Burke are suitable for discussion. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Frank Feighan, Lorraine Clifford-Lee, Rose Conway-Walsh and Michelle Mulherin and they will be taken now. Senators Martin Conway 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 raised by Senator Tim Lombard on the grounds that the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
