I, too, welcome Senator Norris back to the Seanad. He was missed. I am glad he is continuing his curmudgeonly view, in particular in regard to prostitution. I commend the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality on its work on the issue and, in particular, I acknowledge the work of Seanad Éireann in pursuing it. The issue has been under consideration for almost two years. It was first highlighted by the Independent Taoiseach nominees group. We achieved something in Seanad Éireann in that we were able to address this horrific scar on our society. With respect, I disagree with Senator Norris. The committee did hear from all sides.

Eventually. They wrote to me when they were barred.

Senator Mac Conghail, without interruption.

There was a substantial amount of debate and discussion across all sides. I urge all members of Seanad Éireann to read the report, which is the result of an issue first highlighted here by me and Senators Zappone, van Turnhout and Mary Ann O'Brien. I support Senator Bacik's request that the Leader consider this report as a matter of urgency. We need to remain focused on this issue because, as we speak, there are women and children being trafficked to this country for prostitution. I call on the Leader to invite the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Shatter, to the House as soon as possible to ensure we keep up the pressure on this issue and ensure Seanad Éireann can contribute to a fairer, more equitable and balanced society. I also acknowledge Senator Conway's contribution.

I second Senator Zappone's amendment to the Order of Business.
