I will certainly try to do that.

I commend the local authorities in Dublin and the two councillors, Rebecca Moynihan and Deirdre Kingston, on their pilot scheme for sanitary products. It is a wonderful idea, and I would be happy to have the Minister come to the House to debate the matter.

I welcome the investment in Ireland made by BASF, as described by Senator Marshall. It is both a huge vote of confidence and a large investment. The Senator pointed out that that company is worth some €10 billion globally. We want to see further growth in that area. The Senator articulated very forcefully the importance and the benefit of the BASF investment.

Senator Lawlor requested that the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment come to the House to discuss wind turbine guidelines. I would be happy to facilitate that.

I thank Senator Wilson for raising the very important matter of Georgia. Senator Wilson deserves to be commended on his work on many different issues around international human rights. He is working across many different frontiers to create a better world for citizens of Ireland but also for people in places such as Georgia and Taiwan. I thank him for that.

I believe we will all welcome changes to the leaving certificate appeals process, as raised by Senator Ned O’Sullivan. We should have a real debate on that, to avoid a repeat of what happened last summer with that unfortunate student. The Senator made the point well and we will have that debate in due course.

I thank Members for their participation and I accept the amendment to the Order of Business.
