Senator Wilson is definitely spoiling for a fight today. My friendship with him predates our election to the House and I will not rise to his bait on this occasion.

Senator Davitt raised an important point about a potential anomaly. I suggest as a matter of urgency that he tables a Commencement Matter on the matter as he will get an answer more quickly. I am sure the Cathaoirleach would be happy to help him in that.

I thank Members for their contributions. It is my intention to amend the Order of Business to allow for the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs to come to the House tonight.
