I approached Mr. Coughlan to make my apologies to him personally. I must attend a debate on a Bill in the Seanad. I thank Mr. Coughlan for his presentation. The role that he is taking on is an important and serious one and I wish him well. The well-being and safety of workers are of paramount importance to us all.

I noted Mr. Coughlan's mention of agriculture, in which regard much remains to be done to protect people, especially young people, from the dangers associated with the fact that they just so happen to be domiciled in businesses run by their parents and families. I apologise for being unable to stay for longer.
