Does the Leader have any understanding of the number of people who are being hounded by banks — and by the Revenue Commissioners, on behalf of the Government — seeking payment? There is also a need for a debate on mental health. The number of people who are under pressure is frightening. I will not go into details, but those two debates are imperative.
