I support Senator Brian Hayes's remarks about tomorrow's proposed Order Paper. It appears decidedly slack. I thought the Leader agreed last week that the House would debate the Flood report this week given that it was established by both Houses of the Oireachtas. Perhaps we should also have a debate on Northern Ireland, as suggested by Senator Hayes.

The Government has announced its intention to create a corruption assets bureau to pursue assets gained by the corruption of politicians and public officials. How it is intended to distinguish it from the Criminal Assets Bureau? Will the Leader inform the House when it is intended to introduce the legislation?

We have witnessed leaks in recent days concerning the proposed national spatial strategy, with considerable speculation about the proposed major growth centres. I noted from the leaks that the Leader's constituency fared well.
