I am happy to take that on board. I have often spoken about retention during my tenure at the Custom House. The council chamber needs to reflect the society that it serves in gender, diversity, age and all other strands. It needs to reflect all sectors of society, whether business owners, teachers or community workers and all other avenues of life that make up society. Our aim in life as the Dáil or Seanad is to have the Chambers reflect the societies and communities that they serve. We are all working together to try to achieve that. It is a challenge, but we have to keep trying.
