Homeless people. I do not think men can get pregnant in any event. However, as already stated, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government will be in the House on several occasions in the coming weeks and that matter can be raised with him then. Senator Gilroy also referred to Greece and the exposure of the economy to a Greek bailout and that should be spelled out as well. We have come a long way from Sinn Féin telling the troika to take their money and go. We would have been in a bad state if that had happened at that particular point in time.

Senator Mullins called for a debate with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade on Syria and other areas of conflict. Senator Mullen also called for a debate on the persecution of Christians worldwide, which is another issue that can be raised with the Minister.

Finally, Senator Brennan outlined the duties of directors and their obligations to employees in the context of the Clerys workers, and he called for amendments to company law.
