Senator Lawlor raised the issue of draft guidelines for wind turbines. A code of practice is available and in place, but I would be happy to have that debate. Equally, the impeccable Chair of the Committee on Seanad Reform will at some point bring an interim report to the House. I am not sure, as we have not discussed this, but we would be happy to work together on Seanad reform. There is a job of work to be done, but holding the debate on it that has been requested by Senator Lawlor for now would be premature.

Senator Horkan raised the issue of the confidence and supply arrangement. I understand that there was a request from An Taoiseach to Deputy Micheál Martin to meet. I am told that that request has either been responded to or is being responded to. I hope that both gentlemen will sit down and have a detailed conversation that will be mutually beneficial to them and the country.
