I have no difficulty allocating time for such a debate.

Senator Quinn referred to the change in regulations for vegetables in the European Union, which we welcome. They did not make sense in the first place but I thank the Senator for updating the House and I very much welcome the new reduction in mobile phone charges, another great EU initiative.

Senators Mary White and Bacik and all other Senators welcomed the news this morning of the plans for the Central Mental Hospital beside Thornton Hall not now going ahead. We all heard the Minister of State in the Department of Health and Children, Deputy John Moloney, speak on the matter on "Morning Ireland". We were all in favour of a change in that area and I congratulate the Minister concerned.
