The reason it went off well was that Members kept their questions sharp and concise. Some had submitted their questions in advance. Two Ministers will be in the House next week, the Minister of State, Deputy Ring, and the Minister, Deputy Rabbitte. If anyone has questions, I would ask that they would submit them to my office in advance, either today or tomorrow, because if they were to do so, it would give the Minister and the Minister of State a better opportunity to deal with the questions and give a more reasoned response. The people who submit their questions will be called first on the relevant matters. I call on Senators to think about questions on sport and questions to the Minister, Deputy Rabbitte, for next week.

I do not believe any items were raised other than the questions on health and education which I have addressed.

I can tell Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh that the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan, is alive and well. The Senator raised a question concerning a matter in Galway that was addressed by the Minister for Jobs, Trade and Innovation, Deputy Richard Bruton, yesterday.

That addresses the matters raised by Senators today.
