The Combat Poverty Agency issue is something I personally consider unfortunate. Efforts are being made to arrange for the agency to discuss the matter with the Minister for Social and Family Affairs. I am not sure how that situation will be dealt with in the immediate future. We must await events following that discussion.

Senator O'Toole and Senator Leyden raised the airport levy. How it will be applied and how it affects or discriminates against other airports is another matter that must still be determined. I will forgive Senator O'Toole his slight in referring to Cork and Shannon as regional airports.
