Rónán Mullen (Independent)

Enhancing the powers of the Seanad was an issue about which we could have had a useful discussion. We must save €4,000 million by Christmas. If it is so important that we make this saving of €150 million, why is the Fine Gael leader not undertaking to publish this proposal in this session and to put the challenge to the Government? To talk about saving €150 million in seven years' time has no real relevance to the crisis and the challenges we currently face.

I ask the Leader for a debate on funding for Protestant schools.
