I call for a debate on cycling. In view of the fine weather it is important to look at what is going on around us. I come from the university city of Galway. Unfortunately, although many people are cycling at the moment, the facilities in the city do not match the desire of people to cycle, which I believe is the case across the country. Most of the European cities that people visit on holidays have fantastic cycling facilities, whereas the culture of cycling here is really not up to scratch. I call on the Leader to ask the Minister to come to the House for a debate on the matter.

Senator Quinn spoke about the question of Central European Time. I ask him to remember the west of Ireland where we would have darkness just after lunchtime if we were to have Central European Time during the middle of the winter.
