Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister. I will focus on three different areas. First, I wish to pick up on a point that has been made several times today and, indeed, was introduced by Senator Mary White this morning.

A Chathaoirligh, is there a sound coming from this microphone? I had this problem this morning. I will move to another seat. It is a distracting enough day without having this type of interference.
