I spent the first part of the morning filling out a visa form and having photos taken for the application. This is for the forthcoming UN conference on AIDS. We had leader’s questions this morning. We focussed on spiralling housing prices and the increased indebtedness of many young people as a result.

I had to leave directly following that to attend the Dublin/Monaghan bombings commemoration in Talbot St, which unfortunately I just got the end of. Only a small number had gathered in the rain. Patricia (McKenna) was also there.

The TDs had a long meeting with the party treasurer, Martin Nolan, to discuss election finances.

I managed to get the adjournment debate last night, on the Housing (miscellaneous provisions) bill.

I also received an interesting reply to a PQ regarding the use of the E112. It seems that public patients may well benefit from the ECJ ruling but that private patients may have to receive treatment in this country. It’s something I intend to pursue.
