I am just making the point that it is worthwhile recognising the anniversary. Senators Cecilia Keaveney, Joe O'Reilly and I are the Members from this House on the Council of Europe. It is a very important organisation. Senator Keaveney has produced an important report, which I hope will be debated in this House, about the teaching of history in countries that have experienced difficulties, such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Northern Ireland and elsewhere.

I wish to recognise that anniversary today. Will the Leader of the House, through the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, invite the President of the Council of Europe or the new Secretary General to address the House on the work of that great organisation? Senator Paul Bradford, who is present, is a former member of the Council of Europe. There may be other former members present. I thank the Cathaoirleach for giving me an opportunity to raise that matter today.
