I wholeheartedly support Senator Norris in the call he has just made and it is important to have signs directing traffic here and there. What is more important then directing a homeless person? I note Alice Leahy was in the Gallery earlier and I congratulate her on the work she has done. As for Fr. Padraig Devine, I support the comments of Senators Leyden and Kelly. I noted with interest Senator Kelly's comment that he was in Maynooth with his wife. I thought to myself that the Catholic Church had women priests I did not know about.

The Senator stated that his wife was in Maynooth with the priest, not the other way around.

Yes, but I wish to congratulate the Rev. Pat Storey, who is the first woman bishop in the Anglican Church. The doors were always open in the Anglican Church and perhaps this also will be the case and we are working on that.

Today is both international day of persons with disabilities and national grieving day. Members have debated the issues of suicide, grieving and everything associated with it in this Chamber but in the olden days, grieving and everything else was centred to a great extent on the church. Regardless of whether this was good or bad, as many people no longer go to church and that sense of community has been lost, I seek a debate on the community development and support in the community, not just organising but in order that things happen, that is, there is a daily drop-in centre in each community where people can simply drop in for a cup of coffee.

Men's Sheds is great for men and different things are organised. Community halls are there and should be used. I raise this issue on national grieving day, in particular as there were 100 suicides in the first three months of this year, so something is needed.
