Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)

I wish to put that on record. The first I heard of this is when a journalist called me last night to ask if we had agreed to the House not meeting to facilitate a game of golf. Of course, that is not true. Last week in this House I called for debates on the protection of children. I called for debates on the amendment to the Constitution on children. My colleagues called for debates on a range of topics. I have a list of discussions, debates and legislation we wish to bring to the floor of this House. That could have been done yesterday. There are 84 amendments to the Adoption Bill. They could have been discussed yesterday. The first I heard of the Seanad not meeting on Tuesday was also yesterday. Who made a decision that this House was not going to meet on Tuesdays for the month of May? That is the first I have heard of it.
