I ask the Leader to urgently provide for a debate on men's health. Recent statistics indicate that young men are particularly vulnerable to suicide. Anyone will attest that statistics show that the incidence of prostate and colon cancer among men is rising at an alarming rate.

I support the points made by Senators Mansergh and Ó Murchú regarding the editorial in today's edition of the Irish Independent. It is very interesting to note that two councillors retired at the last local elections with over 100 years service between them without a pension. This is wrong and must be changed, a position I know Members support.
