Senator Humphreys raised an important matter, namely, the legacy issues concerning the quality of building and of apartments. The Minister of State, Deputy English, will be in the House on Thursday. I would be very happy to have the debate then.

Senator Devine raised the issue of the public services card. As she knows, the Government has a different view. It is happy, in the interest of transparency, to have a discussion and debate on the card. It is important to recognise this is not what some people are portraying it to be. It is worth noting that the Attorney General, an independent law officer of the Government, advised the Government. I would be happy to have a debate on the issue in due course.

I join Senator Devine in congratulating Baile Átha Cliath in winning five championships in a row, and I congratulate the ladies on winning three. I remind Senator Devine that the only team to beat Dublin in an all-Ireland final this year was Cork, in the under-20s. She should put that on her record.
