Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I am only informing the House that the Taoiseach is committed to holding a referendum.

Senator O'Keeffe asked about EU matters and pointed out that it is important that we cooperate meaningfully in the House. She noted that the Suicide Prevention Office is providing training for Members of the House and staff.

If there are vacancies left, people should seek that training, if they can possibly do so.

Senator Kathryn Reilly, the youngest Member of the House, rightly spoke passionately about emigration and unemployment. They are certainly matters we will address and on which I will arrange a debate early in the new year.
