I am conscious that a number of people wish to contribute to this debate and the Acting Chairman explained that some may not have an opportunity to speak. I will try to keep within four minutes in order to allow in some of my Independent colleagues who may not otherwise have an opportunity.

As the Labour Party spokesperson on children and youth affairs, I am glad to welcome the ¤17.4 million allocated by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs for the youth detention facility at Oberstown.
