That is another request that will be honoured.

Senator Ivana Bacik asked about constitutional reform and reform of the asylum system. This is a matter that the Minister for Justice and Equality is examining at present and I am sure he will be happy to come to the House at a later stage to discuss it. Senator Jillian van Turnhout mentioned SNAs, as did quite a number of people. I have given a response on this.

Senator Rónán Mullen and quite a number of Members mentioned nursing homes. I arranged a debate at the request of Members last week and it was an excellent one. Everybody would agree the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, was certainly on top of her brief. She would be willing, if needs be, to come in and discuss the same subject at a later stage, but we should give her a few weeks at least before we ask her to come in and speak on the same subject.

Senators Pat O'Neill and Michael Comiskey asked about a review of group sewerage schemes. We will ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government whether he has any proposals in that regard.

Senator Thomas Byrne raised the matter of finance, as did other Senators. We had a debate on the Finance (No. 2) Bill, but I realise that people want further discussion on the economy and the EU-IMF deal. We will ask the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, to come to the House. He has been here to address a motion by Senator Byrne, but we will ask him to come again.

Senator Marie Moloney mentioned the issue of radon gas, which is a major problem. Committee meetings were held with representatives of the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland during the course of the last Seanad at which they advised of the situation with regard to radon gas in their areas. It is not very expensive to detect radon gas but to implement procedures could be costly. We will ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government about this.

Senator David Norris spoke about a matter he raised previously, that of the Bethany Home and the Magdalene laundries. An interdepartmental committee is to be established and when the recommendations are published, we will certainly have a debate on this. Senator Tom Sheahan mentioned the roll-out of Saorview and the lack of reception in Kerry. We will deal with that with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Leo Varadkar.

Senator Kathryn Reilly spoke about the use of symphysiotomy in some of our hospitals, which is brutal, as we know from the "Prime Time" programmes some time back. The report is out now and this is something we can discuss with the Minister for Health when he is here on 7 July.

Senator John Whelan raised a valid point about "Oireachtas Report", asking why it was not broadcast last Tuesday. I will undertake to write to RTE to elicit an answer from it on this subject.

The question of NAMA was raised by a number of Senators. I thought we would have to institute peace talks for two Kerry Senators on that.
