Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The mná must know what great friends they have in Seanad Éireann. Senator Browne made the realistic suggestion that the Minister for Finance was answerable on this question because it involved a declaration of income. Whether the issue of a declaration of income overrides the issue of the fine work done with young people over the summer holidays in the Gaeltachtaí will have to be addressed. Perhaps it could be addressed in the context of the Finance Bill.

On a point of information, yesterday the Committee on Procedure and Privileges agreed the terms of reference for Seanad reform. I have left an explanatory note on the terms of reference and the legislation in the Seanad Office and there is a copy for everybody in the audience.

Order of Business agreed to.
