Senator Eamonn Coghlan has left the Chamber, but I concur with him on the issue of the Belfield track. As a student at UCD in the 1970s, I used that track regularly. Many students use it. Closing down any sporting facility when there is no replacement for it is a retrograde step. I endorse the Senator's call for the track to be maintained.

The report on the review of sex abuse cases in the diocese of Raphoe between 1975 and 2010 was published this morning. It leads indirectly to suicide, to which other Members referred. Many members of the community of Donegal and the north west have been affected by this and driven to depression and, in many cases, suicide. I know of cases where this has happened.
