Senator Darragh O?Brien asked about the Mangan report. I have arranged for the Minister to come to the House next Tuesday and Wednesday to debate it.

Senators Ivana Bacik, Jillian van Turnhout, Aideen Hayden and many others referred to the report on the Magdalen laundries. I have arranged for a debate on it next Wednesday.

Senator Jillian van Turnhout also referred to the Mangan report and the leaking of reports. I agree totally with her. There have been a number of leaks about various reports. There were leaks on the Mangan report, as well as on the HSE report in Galway last week. Such leaks should be investigated thoroughly by the Garda because they assist nobody.

I will find out for Senator Jillian van Turnhout exactly when the family leave Bill will be brought to the House. It is on the list.

Senator Harte rightly mentioned that the apology should come from the other side of the House also in terms of the past 14 years.
