Senator Brennan wants to debate the draft programme for playing facilities for young people. We will endeavour to get the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Lenihan, to come before the House to discuss that.

Senator McCarthy sought a debate on the 60% increase there will be in years to come in the cost of care for the elderly and the burden that will place on everybody. I read that report and it certainly is a matter of concern. He also asked if the Minister, Deputy Noel Dempsey, will be present for the debate. I do not know, but there will be a responsible person in the House for the debate. I will try to get the Minister.
