Joe O'Reilly (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will begin by agreeing entirely with my colleague, Senator Boyhan, in welcoming the Minister and in expressing our appreciation of the fact that she is here to answer questions on these very important matters for our colleagues. I invite her to respond to the debate. As per the Order of the House, this debate is scheduled to finish at 2.30 p.m. I ask that the Minister might bear that in mind, but I stress that there is plenty of time available.
