We will see what we can do and we will push the matter on a little.

Senator Wall also mentioned the debate in the Dáil Chamber tomorrow evening on section 38 and section 39 agencies. I wish him well with that.

Senator Ó Donnghaile spoke about Creeslough. Senator Boyhan expressed his sympathies to those affected. I had never before heard that poem, "Nothing Gold Can Stay", but it was absolutely beautiful, so I thank the Senator.

Senator Conway welcomed Iryna Tekuchova, who is not here any more, to the Chamber. She is very welcome and we wish her continued success.

Senator Chambers asked for a debate on energy costs, particularly around retrofitting grants and what seems to be an unfair system of treating people who have the ability to do their whole house together as opposed to people who can do it only a bit at a time. We will certainly organise that debate.

I have not mentioned all the colleagues who expressed their sympathies on the tragedy in Creeslough but I thank them all for their solidarity with the community.
