I call for a debate on the Private Residential Tenancies Board in light of the fact that it has changed premises and no longer has a public office. Given that many of us live in highly residential areas where properties are rented, it would be appropriate to have a debate on that matter.

I attended a function in Cork the aim of which was to highlight prostate cancer. It is estimated that one in 14 men will become infected. Will the Deputy Leader facilitate a debate on that issue? We also need a debate on mental health, especially men's health. Women and the feminist movement rightly speak about the role of women and women's issues but it is important to raise the issue of men's health.

I wish to enlighten Senator Harris that no Fine Gael cumann has €63,000 at its disposal. That is a point he should note.
