There was a Topical Issue debate on this.

-----heard from the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Charles Flanagan, who was forthright in his response.

No, we are not here to discuss issues. I am sorry, Deputy, but I ask you to resume your seat because the Tánaiste will not be allowed to answer it as I will not allow it.
