Senator van Turnhout also called for a debate on the youth guarantee. The Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Burton, will be here with us all afternoon. Prior to the debate, I will ask her when she can come in to debate that issue.

Senator Norris raised the need for reform of the vocational panels. That was the subject of a couple of Bills that were before the House before the Seanad referendum.

Until Senator Norris informed me of the fact, I was not aware that the Taoiseach had held meetings with the leaders in the Lower House in respect of these matters.
