It is important that we do not abuse parliamentary privilege by casting aspersions.

Senator Daly welcomed the smoking in cars legislation. He also welcomed the new US ambassador and I am sure we would all join in that welcome. The Senator also referred to quite a number of other issues, including a meeting in Lissadell House - I know nothing about that - and Israel and the Middle East. I do not think he asked for any debate and I am not sure if any question was asked in the course of his contribution.

Senator Brennan referred to the planning regulations and asked for a debate with the Minister of State, Deputy Coffey. I know the Minister of State has committed to coming to the House for a debate on planning and the Construction 2020 strategy, which is to take place after the budget. We will follow up on that.

Senator Wilson called for a debate on Seanad reform. Again, I am not sure if the Senator had a question.
