Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

I commend Senator Norris on his balanced contribution. I genuinely believe we should all be speaking in that tone given the difficult times we are experiencing in this country. We have all spoken in this House about vulnerable people and the need to help them. While they may not have been assisted in the budget there are many other ways vulnerable people can be helped.

I ask the Leader to arrange for a debate on FÁS, an issue on which I have spoken on several occasions. We should differentiate between the controversial issues that arose at management level and what is happening on the ground in FÁS.
