It is also something on which Senator White is working.

Senator O'Keeffe raised the issue of having a debate on slow food and artisan food with the Minister, Deputy Coveney, in attendance. Such a debate would be well worth having given the asset that this movement is providing for tourism, the growing number of food festivals around the country and the increase in entrepreneurial activity around artisan food. I have been asked to seek a debate with the Minister, Deputy Coveney, on fisheries. We might arrange for the two issues to dealt with in such a debate.

Senator White raised the issue of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings. There is a Fianna Fáil motion on this issue but a motion on this issue was also moved in the House on 2 February.
