Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I support Senator Zappone's highlighting of the excellent programme last night from the team behind "Prime Time Investigates". It was a tremendous piece of public service broadcasting and it was very detailed. Hopefully, it shows RTE is recovering from the difficulties it had with a previous programme. It has shown great courage in this regard.

I hope the Garda Commissioner will examine this programme in detail, will carry out a detailed investigation and will bring prosecutions. I understand the section in the Garda Síochána which deals with trafficking is small but I know the Minister and his Department have placed a great emphasis on the area of trafficking. A representative of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in European was here last week to discuss this whole issue. It is a national, European and international issue and it must be tackled in that way.

I recommend that RTE shows that programme again, although I watched it in full last night. The programme was very comprehensive, well-documented and well-researched over a long period. It showed women being moved between Athlone, Dublin, Cavan and elsewhere in the country. It was an extraordinary programme and was one of RTE's best efforts so far and I commend it in that regard. I hope people have an opportunity to watch the programme today. I hope to attend the meeting organised by Senator Zappone this evening in the AV room.

I refer to the issue raised by Senators Bacik and Norris. Our writers are great for tourism but one who has been rather ignored is Oscar Wilde, one of the greatest writers in the English language who lived on Merrion Street. His grandfather is buried in Castlerea, County Roscommon, which is not known.
