Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

Like other Members, I note that other pressing issues affect society to a much greater extent than the debate that is exercising the House today. One of them has been mentioned by Senator Norris, namely, the impending report on child abuse in the archdiocese of Dublin that has been delayed for one week. Members have been given plenty of notice that it will be published next week. As the House is not sitting next week, can the Leader arrange a full three hour debate on the issue either on the Tuesday on which Members return or the following Wednesday?
