Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

We do so much trade with our nearest neighbour but more can be done. It was a useful suggestion and, equally, was the suggestion of a part exchange programme of personnel in the Civil Service. Some of the experts that spoke to us, particularly Seán O'Driscoll this morning, referred to a "silo" mentality where 15 Departments who are on the one team somehow do not communicate with one another very often and we need much greater co-operation. That is just two of the many suggestions that came out. I ask the Deputy Leader to facilitate a debate, in early course, in order that we can deal with some of the other matters. The other House shall also deal with the matter on Thursday.
