They may not have the experience of most of us, but they are passionate in their contributions. While I respect that, we must await the findings of the tribunal established by both Houses. I look forward to such.

Senator McCarthy spoke about climate change and wished the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government well in Bali. I will pass on the Senator's congratulations. His proposed national forum on climate change is worthy of debate.

We should offer our congratulations to Met Éireann, which warned those of us on the west coast of last weekend's inclement weather. We want to send our condolences on the unfortunate and untimely deaths of the four fishermen. I want to also send the House's condolences on the deaths of the mother and daughter killed in Saturday morning's horrific crash. They had close family ties to my family.

Senator Keaveney offered her congratulations to the Minister for Education and Science on the OECD report, particularly in respect of the school leavers element. Senator Healy Eames called for a debate on BIPA.
