I support Senator Brian Hayes in his call for a debate in January on No. 2. Will the Leader let us know if she can bring forward the fundamental recommendation of the Joint Committee on Justice, Equality and Law Reform that there be a resolution of this House and the Dáil calling on the British Parliament to support the establishment of a tribunal of inquiry in Northern Ireland to get to the truth about the alleged collusion involving forces of the British Government in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings? This significant recommendation should be acted upon.

I agree with Senator Norris's call for a debate on overseas development aid. That debate will illustrate the good news story. Aid has increased from €150 million to €600 million since 1997.
