I thank Senator Cullinane for raising this difficult issue. I am pleased to be here for the first execution of the new Commencement Debate in the Seanad. If we had dealt with this matter under the previous system on the date the Senator hoped to have such a discussion, I think the debate would have happened at 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. I think this is a better way for the Senator and I to handle the matter.
