Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I wish to ask the Leader if she could organise a debate on child care, particularly on the delivery of affordable child care, given we are trying to encourage as many parents as possible to return to the workforce. In many cases it is impossible for them in the absence of local, affordable child care.

With the indulgence of the Cathaoirleach, I wish to again raise a matter I raised on the Order of Business about two weeks ago which, on the advice of the Leader, I tabled as a matter on the Adjournment. It was to ask the Minister of State in the Department of Finance, Deputy Parlon, for a date on which he will remove the razor wire around Farmleigh. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, replied to my Adjournment matter. His said "the wire is being taken down as we speak". The wire was still in place yesterday. I have it in writing from the Minister that the wire was being taken down two weeks ago, as he spoke.
