That was well said by Senator Martin Conway.

I, too, welcome the election of our new Pope yesterday, Pope Francis. It is ironic that we were in the middle of debating the amendment to section 37 of the Employment Equality Act, which I was proud to second. This Bill will end the discrimination against LGBT teachers and medical workers and discrimination against workers on the grounds of their marital status. I particularly welcomed that when I heard about the Pope's election last night because he is such a humble man and he has chastised priests for refusing to baptise the children of unmarried people. I hope his election will be a positive step. I reiterate the sentiments I expressed when I heard that the previous Pope was resigning, that I hope there will be a greater role for women in the church and that the new Pope will bear that in mind. All the early statements about him are very positive. Everybody is very positive towards this man, who appears to be extremely humble and who has a very difficult job ahead of him.

I wish to raise symphysiotomy again. It is a topic I have raised on numerous occasions in the past 18 months. Where is the Walsh report? Is it with the Minister for Health, Deputy James Reilly? It has been extremely delayed. Once and for all, where is the Walsh report? The Minister should come to the House for a debate and questions and answers. There was an article in the newspaper last Saturday about a judgment and settlement of a symphysiotomy case that was carried out in 2000. As far as I know, the Walsh report goes up to only 1994. What bearing will that case have on it? I also want answers about the redress scheme for the Neary women, that is, the women who were outside that settlement. It is great that we have made progress with the Justice for Magdalenes group-----

These are questions the Senator can ask during the debate.

Yes, I am seeking a debate on that issue. I would welcome it if the Minister would come to the House.
