Sir, – Congratulations to Fianna Fáil Senator Mark Daly who managed to obtain the signatures of 20 Senators to force the special sitting of the Seanad to discuss the directive on organ donation. It had all the hallmarks of a publicity stunt but ended up being quite useful, proving as it did that the Seanad is an unnecessary, expensive and failed talking shop. – Yours, etc,
GEOFF SCARGILL,
