I wish to ask about two items of legislation. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine met the farmers today. Will the Taoiseach or somebody else meet the road hauliers tonight, in the context of the road transport Bill? They are in Dublin because of the road tax. It is a simple issue to address. They need fair play so that small businesses in rural Ireland can survive.

A matter of profound concern arises due to the failure of certain State funded organisations to care for children.
