Senator Colm Burke raised a very important point retarding negativity in the commentary relating to the health sector. A lot of good work is being done and there are many positive outcomes. I agree with him on this point.

I will not wade into the issue raised by Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell. It is a matter for each Member to decide when they are here.

Senator Gavan raised the issue of Analog Devices and Huawei. The Taoiseach has made it quite clear that we have an open mind on this and he has been very firm that we do not necessarily go down the American route on every matter. We will have a debate with the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Heather Humphreys, in due course.
