I welcome the support of Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and Deputy Catherine Murphy for the children's referendum. I hope we will have a campaign that is measured, reasoned and informative. I am confident that will be the case.

Deputy Calleary is right to raise the major challenge we face in getting people into employment and back to work. If I was on the other side of the House this morning, that would be the first topic I would raise. The current Opposition obviously has its own priorities.
