As I said, I think we should have a debate on the report of the joint committee, because those issues are addressed more fully in that report. If we table a motion on that and have a debate on it, we can tease out those issues. An Post certainly has been successful in tendering for State business in the recent past, and I hope it will be successful in the near future as well.

Senator Moloney spoke about domestic violence and a motion she put forward recently in the House. She also spoke about A Vision for Change and last night's debate. It is unfortunate that it was dominated by a particular issue, and I am sure the Minister of State, Deputy Lynch, would be happy to come back to address the broader issues. We will certainly ask her to do so. She has been here on many occasions to debate these and other issues.

Senator Ó Clochartaigh spoke on the issue of domestic violence and raised the issue of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, which I think I have dealt with. There are very worrying new allegations about failures in policing, such as the Sylvia Roche Kelly case. The flaws in the investigation process of the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder are on the record for a long time. There are particular issues, but they are more operational policing issues that we need to examine.
