Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I wish the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the British Prime Minister, Mr. Blair, every success in the talks towards securing a permanent settlement in the North of Ireland. There is no doubt that it will be a great day for Ireland and our Government if that can be achieved. It would be a golden opportunity if, on the Taoiseach's return, and presuming he can find time in his work schedule, he could address this House on those talks.

I support Senator O'Meara in seeking a discussion on youth mental health. I have had discussions with many people in the education sector on this issue. Given the changing fabric of society, we have significant problems, including stress on young people, so it would be a great opportunity if the House could discuss these matters.
