It is a request. Will the Leader bring to the attention of the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Ruairí Quinn, the Committee of Public Accounts report produced across parties, including by members of his own party, the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Róisín Shortall, Deputy Tommy Broughan and members of his own party? It would be very helpful were the Leader to do so.

Will the Leader for a debate with the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Róisín Shortall, on the continued importation of what were previously known as legal highs. The previous Government and all members of the Dáil and Seanad enacted very effective legislation to ban head shops. We now learn that thousands of these substances are coming in via Internet orders. I would like to know what steps the Minister of State is taking to address this very serious issue.
