I welcome what I would consider the responsible comments of Senator Donohoe on the various industrial action going on. It is important that we on all sides of the House should make the comments on social welfare. It is atrocious that, potentially, people who have recently lost their jobs stand unable to collect social welfare. Being unable to get a passport is one matter, but people who are already in dire difficulties not being able to collect the minimal payments which people receive on social welfare is a matter which Senators on all sides of this House should stand against.

I would welcome a debate on the Dublin Docklands Development Authority when the report is published in good time.
