Senator Keane spoke about the positive effects of the ban on smoking and called for a debate on air pollution with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan. I will bring that matter to the Minister's attention.

Senator Ó Clochartaigh asked why we are not meeting until 12.30 p.m. tomorrow. I am very surprised that a member of Sinn Féin did not know that we are honouring our dead in 1916 tomorrow morning and that is the reason we are not meeting until 12.30 p.m., but I am sure he will be here for the European Commissioner at 12.30 p.m.
