I congratulate Senator Daly on bringing it to our attention. I will contact the office of the Minister for Education and Science today to determine why this is the case. Senators will bring the matter to her attention when she is present tomorrow. We will try to get clarification on the up-to-date situation.

Senator Hannigan mentioned the National Roads Authority, the Road Safety Authority and the road death rate. Thanks to the introduction of random breath testing on 21 July 2006 and putting a fear of the law into people, we are heading for 100 fewer road deaths and thousands fewer serious injuries this year. I agree with the Senator's sentiments on doing anything that can be done to create further investment in road safety. We support the Minister in that regard.

The Senator referred to the serious allegation of data not being removed from computers. I can set aside time for such a debate in the coming weeks.

Senators de Búrca, John Paul Phelan, Coffey and Walsh called for an urgent debate on wind energy. From 2002-07, the Joint Committee on Enterprise and Small Business was successful in terms of tackling the challenge of high insurance costs.
