I join other Members in expressing condolences on the death of William Trevor, a beautiful writer of wonderful short stories that were really evocative of rural Ireland. His death is a very sad occasion.

Will the Leader arrange for a debate on the separation of powers and the independence of the Judiciary in light of what appears to be an ongoing feud between the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, and senior judges? I do not consider it appropriate for a Minister to tweet, as the Minister, Deputy Ross, appears to be doing, in response to comments by the Chief Justice.
