Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

In regard to Senator Norris's question, I understand the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Bill 2012 was only published on 13 April. It will be debated first in the Dáil and we will consider it once it passes through that House.

Senator Higgins raised the issue of farm inspections. We can discuss this issue with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. I will revert to the Senator in that regard.

Senator Conway offered his opinion on Cardinal Brady. I mentioned this issue on the Order of Business yesterday and I watched the programmes which aired last night and the previous evening. The names of children who were being abused were revealed to the investigation but nothing was done to protect the children or those who were abused subsequently. Many more children were abused because of the lack of action subsequent to the investigation. That was the most damning revelation on the programme but I am sure there will be further developments.

The Senator also raised the issue of jobs in the IT area. As I have noted, the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation will be in the House on several occasions to discuss job creation in the IT sector and elsewhere in the economy.

Senator Walsh appears to have a bee in his bonnet about the ordering of business. The business of the House depends on the availability of Ministers and other factors but we have sat on Fridays and Mondays and have organised our business in conjunction with the leaders of the various parties. I will not rise to the Senator's reference to playing golf in Faithlegg. For the Senator's information, I do not play golf.
