I have quite a bit more, as many other colleagues raised issues that deserve a response. I will deal with them, unless colleagues want me not to respond. The role of the Deputy Leader is to respond to queries raised.

Senator Susan O'Keeffe raised the issue of the need for an independent inquiry into the death of Savita Halappanavar. There are issues raised on the evidence presented at the inquest.

Senator Susan O'Keeffe also referred to the young Senators event next Tuesday, 23 April, from 12.30 p.m. to 2.30 p.m. We should commend the Senator for the immense work done in initiating the proposal for a great event. Some 45 students from different counties will come into the Chamber to experience what it is like to be a legislator. The Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Ruairí Quinn, and the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, will attend and I know colleagues will be very supportive of the endeavour. All colleagues are invited to attend and I commend Senator Susan O'Keeffe for taking the initiative.

Senators Paschal Mooney and Michael Mullins also referred to the fodder crisis, an issue with which I have dealt.

Senator David Norris referred to the Iona Institute's submission to the Constitutional Convention which he said had mis-cited a report entitled, Child Trends from 2002. The authors of the report placed a disclaimer on the front saying it was not to be cited in debates on marriage equality.

Senator David Norris said that organisation had communicated its concern to the convention and that the report had been misreported or mis-cited in its submission to it. I share the Senator's concerns and will be happy to pass them on to the convention.

The Deputy Leader might also contact the Iona Institute. It would be interesting to hear what it had to say on the matter.

The Deputy Leader to continue, without interruption, please.

The institute might take a different view of what Senator David Norris said.

That would not suit Senator Ivana Bacik's agenda.

It is a matter for the convention to make a response.

Please allow the Deputy Leader to continue without interruption.

Senator David Norris asked me to contact the convention and I will do as he has asked.

Senator Michael Comiskey raised the issue of the fodder crisis.

The Labour Party is always happy to hear Senator Terry Leyden's pearls of wisdom on its internal affairs. It was a lot of hot air.

The Gilmore gale.

That will blow out.

Senator Feargal Quinn raised the issue of lung fibrosis. While it is not an issue of which I am aware, I would be grateful if he could pass on the details to me which I, in turn, will pass on to the Minister for Health as it appears to be a serious matter. While, as the Senator stated, only a small number of people in the country will be affected, it is nonetheless an important issue. As in the case of the issue raised by Senator David Norris, I will pass on the information on the issue raised by Senator Fearga; Quinn to the Minister for Health.

Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh raised concerns about the direct provision system, on which he and other Senators have previously called for a debate. I will again request the Minister to come to the House for a debate on the issue. I am aware of the briefing today by the Irish Refugee Council, Doras Luimni and AkiDwa on the direct provision system, which I will attend. I am sure other Senators will also attend.

Senator Catherine Noone raised the issue of financial advisers and borrowers in distress, which matter might well be dealt with as part of the general debate on banking sought by other Senators.

Senator Jim Walsh asked for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin, to come to the House for a debate on the second Croke Park agreement. The comments made yesterday by the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the Minister, Deputy Brendan Howlin, illustrate the need for a period of reflection, on both sides, to consider what should be the response on this issue. There is a consciousness among parties, particularly on the Government side and on the part of those unions which urged a "Yes" vote, that the core of the agreement is worth saving, in particular the need to protect core pay of public servants earning less than €65,000, as per the agreement. It is important to point out that some unions had negotiated separate sectoral arrangements which were agreed to by members. It is too soon to ask the Minister to come to the House for a debate on the matter. I hope we will see a further phase of negotiation which I believe is quite likely.
