I thought Senator Mullen was against extinguishing life.

I thank the 16 Members who made contributions to the Order of Business. Senator Ardagh raised the very important issue of Dolphin Park. I hope there can be facilitation of access for both GAA clubs to the pitches and I echo the Senator's call that an t-Uachtarán Cumann Lúthchleas Gael should perhaps get involved or that some mechanism should be found for a way forward. As the Senator rightly stated, this is about ensuring not only access to playing pitches but also the continuation of the great work that has been done.

Senators Lawless and Ardagh referred to the very important issue of Organ Donor Awareness Week. As an organ donor myself, I am of the view that we should really promote, highlight and promulgate the benefits of organ donation. I look forward to the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, publishing his Bill, in which we will change our organ donation policy. I thank all involved in Organ Donor Awareness Week and I hope we will see more people donate and become aware of the issue. Again, I commend those involved in the promotion and promulgation of this.

I do not have an answer to Senator Ardagh's question about the Legal Service Regulatory Authority and LLPs, but if she drops me a note, I will be happy to approach the Minister on her behalf.

Mar gheall ar an turas go dtí an Ghaeltacht, is dóigh liom go mbeidh a lán daoine ón Seanad ag dul go dtí an Ghaeltacht de thoradh an chuiridh a thug an Seanadóir Ó Céidigh do gach éinne. Déanaim comhghairdeas le foireann Theach Laighean agus an Oireachtais as an turas go dtí an Ceathrú Rua ar 26 nó 27 Aibreán a shocrú. I hope that as many Members as possible will be able to go to the Gaeltacht to engage in the comhrá maidir lenár dteanga dhúchais. It is important we continue to use and express our support for our Irish language. I commend Senator Ó Céidigh and the staff of the Houses of the Oireachtas on putting this trip to the Gaeltacht together. It is not a trip, it is an event to help Members promote and use the Irish language. I pity the bean an tí who will have a number of Members of the Houses of Oireachtas with her ar fud an-----
