A Fianna Fáil councillor, Mr. Paschal Fitzmaurice, has brought to my attention the situation of Harristown House in Castlerea, which is being used as a detention-----

Senator Kelly will discuss this matter on the Adjournment. I am sure that he will share time with Senator Leyden.

It is an interesting situation, as it appears the Minister is not informing the local Senator. The people of Castlerea have not been consulted. They are concerned-----

This matter will be raised on the Adjournment.

Can I bet the Cathaoirleach €5 that the Minister will not attend this evening?

That is not very generous. Why not make it €1,000?

No, it will be €5.

Is the Senator not sure of himself?

A Minister will attend.

I am referring to the Minister for Justice and Equality.

He is responsible, but a Minister will attend.

He will not attend the House. He would not attend last-----

If Senator Leyden needs time, I am sure that Senator Kelly will share some of his.

Maybe he will, but I am not sure.

Does Senator Leyden wish to raise another issue?

Senator Kelly's debate will not-----

The people of Castlerea-----

The Senator must be fair to Members who have gone to the bother of tabling matters on the Adjournment.

My point is that Government Members should be consulted by Ministers. That is how Fianna Fáil did it. We had direct contact with Ministers.

We hope they will not do it the way Fianna Fáil did it.

We did not need to hear news second hand. Councillor Fitzmaurice is leading the issue in Castlerea. He is well informed and knows what is occurring. He has organised a public meeting tonight in Tully's Hotel in Castlerea.

Senator Leyden is still going through the motions.

I hope that as many people as possible can attend.

We will all be there.
