I concur with the view expressed by the Ceann Comhairle, having been in the same position as the Deputies in question in 2007.

On the children (amendment) Bill, is the Taoiseach aware of the threat of closure facing an excellent child care service in Darndale? The Jigsaw centre, which provides child care services for 260 preschool children and employs 100 people, is under pressure. I ask the Taoiseach to intervene urgently in this case. It is all very well to introduce the Children First Bill and speak about the children (amendment) Bill but we need to protect the children of the Darndale and Belcamp areas.
