I commend Senator White on the publication of her document in respect of women entrepreneurs and am in complete agreement with her. Most of the entrepreneurs I know are women and are excellent people. I commend her on her efforts to bring forward this document, as well as noting her comments in respect of the Enterprise Ireland annual report and on the success of, and upturn in, exports and the work of entrepreneurs nationwide. Whatever about reading the report during the summer, I certainly will read it before the summer is out.

Senator Bacik spoke on energy efficiency measures and the retrofitting of local authority houses. I agree with her and that matter has been raised by Senator Hayden and others in recent days. Senators Mullen, Walsh and others spoke on the McManus report and matters that may have arisen in respect of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill. I will not enter into that debate again, as Members have had comprehensive debate on the matter in recent weeks.
