Rónán Mullen: As the Minister of State rightly says, it is the few. Unfortunately it is the few we have to legislate for. My problem is that the Minister of State is putting the patron under an obligation to ensure something they do not have the power to ensure without dissolving the board. This is prior to the section 37A process. Leaving section 37A aside, if a board of management is not complying...

Rónán Mullen: I appreciate the Minister of State's efforts but she has not responded to my specific question. She says she is not seeking for the patron to seek to the dissolution of the board where they fail to comply. That is not my question.

Rónán Mullen: I agree with Senator Carrigy's sentiments. The origin of this debate lies in the unacceptable situation of a lack of school places for nearly 100 children in September, but there is a process that has to happen for everything. If I ring a board of management and tell it that it should provide a special needs class, it will ask me who I am, whether I know a class is needed, whether the...

Rónán Mullen: A couple of years ago, there was talk of bringing the Seanad on tour but there is really no need because it lands in every town and village in Ireland sooner or later. I acknowledge what Senator Chambers said about the issue of women's health and Fianna Fáil's proposals in that area. I commend Fianna Fáil on its focus on that area. I might say a bit more about that tomorrow....
