Seán Power (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)

I wish to raise two issues. First, in Germany in the past few days we have seen a public outpouring of grief following the suicide of the German goalkeeper, Robert Enke. Unfortunately, it appears that suicide is on the increase in this country. The grief expressed by German people in recent days has been experienced by many families. It is important to address this matter. I ask the Taoiseach to provide time for the House to discuss the issue of suicide.
