That is what I am proposing and that is what will be happening.

Senator Burke asked for a debate on the level of absenteeism in the HSE and the need, if necessary, for a change in work practices. Senator Daly welcomed the news that Aer Lingus proposes to resume flights to San Francisco. This is a very important proposal. The matter was raised at the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade. Everyone wanted this to happen and it is welcome. Senator Noone referred to the positive CSO figures on tourism and the importance of the film industry and other initiatives. These demonstrate the importance of niche activities that the Senator mentioned as being important for the tourism industry. Senator Crown referred to the death of Dermot Clarke. I extend the sympathies of the House to his family.
