I join my colleagues in calling for a debate on the youth guarantee. When the Minister for Social Protection was in the House last week she gave a firm undertaking that she would return for a debate on the issue. I ask the Leader to facilitate such a debate at the earliest opportunity rather than leave it linger any longer.

More than 70,000 Irish people have had their credit card details accessed through the breach in the SuperValu getaway breaks data. At a time when public confidence in financial institutions is so low, it is another blow for them to find out that even their credit card details can be accessed. I understand the Data Commissioner has moved to find out from the company concerned why the credit card details were retained. They should not have been retained by any company. We need to restore confidence in our financial institutions and financial matters by assuring the public that no other company retains details of their credit cards. I ask the Leader to arrange a debate on the issue of data protection.
