It would be lovely to hear the Opposition applaud the Minister. That is my final point on the matter. I thank the Cathaoirleach for his indulgence.

In the last session the Leader promised that we would have a debate on the issue of domestic violence. It is early days but I again call on the Leader to make it one of our priorities. I realise many are expecting to listen to such a debate which I hope the Leader will arrange in the very near future.
