In fairness, I need to take up the matter with the Cathaoirleach on the basis that last week I raised an issue about pensioners on the Order of Business and we had a Commencement debate on it this week. Second, this is an issue that cannot be addressed properly during the course of the Order of Business but which can and deserves to be raised. I hope the Cathaoirleach will reflect on this and extend to the people of Balbriggan, particularly its children, the courtesy of allowing the Minister to come to the House to answer on this very serious and pressing issue in a Commencement debate.
