The country is getting €150 million on humanitarian grounds, but this is merely a stop-gap. We will endeavour to have the debate. Senator O'Meara also asked for a debate on Palestine and for a debate on the new set of crèche regulations. I have been speaking to the relevant Minister of State and I told him we would like to discuss them in this House. He is one Minister of State that will not be allowed to get away.

Senator Feighan raised the matter of Garda resources and asked for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to come before the House to discuss the issue.
