I hope the Leader will facilitate such a debate as soon as possible.

I wish to refer to artists' rights. Legislation was introduced as a temporary measure by Deputy Micheál Martin in 2006, which was welcome, but a deadline of 1 January 2012 is approaching. It relates to how artists get money back and is a very worthwhile scheme. It may seem insignificant in the context of the other issues I raised but it is important. I would appreciate if the matter was brought to the attention of the Minister in order that we can discuss it seriously.
