Senator Bacik pointed out the appropriate powers of the Fennelly commission and called, as did other Members, for the regulation of crèches.

Senator Mooney raised the issue of the Secretary General of the Department of Justice and Equality. I understand he has already received a letter from the Fennelly commission asking him to appear before it.

Senators Ó Clochartaigh, Ó Domhnaill, O’Keeffe and Mullins raised the issue of maternity services in the west and mid-west.

The Minister gave a very clear, comprehensive response and will answer any further questions.
