I do. An important conference on women and economic inequality, organised by the National Women's Council of Ireland, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission and Oxfam, is being held today. Following that conference, I would welcome a debate in this House on that subject and, in particular, the inclusion of child care workers, who are in the main women, in the context of the low pay commission which is being administered by the Minister of State, Deputy Nash. I ask that the Leader arrange a debate on the issue of women and economic inequality, with particular reference to the inclusion within the remit of the low pay commission of child care workers to ensure their rights are looked after.
