Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

Yes. Senator Conway spoke about children's rights and Childline, which I have already addressed. Senator Cullinane spoke about a Dáil motion on the development of a historical quarter in Moore Street. The Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht will be in the House on 7 June to discuss the decade of commemorations, so the Senator will have an opportunity to raise those points with him.

In respect of the issue raised by Senator Mooney, I would be very surprised if the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport would forgo any moneys owed to it. I empathise with the issue raised by the Senator regarding social welfare claimants in receipt of overpayments. The money should be deducted over a period. I do not expect social welfare recipients to be treated differently from anybody else. I will relay her comments to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.

Senator Healy Eames also asked for the Minister for Finance to come to the House and I will endeavour to arrange that.

I have addressed the issues raised by Senators Hayden, Noone, Sheahan and Coghlan.
