Senator Terry Leyden spoke about Iran and the need to reopen the embassy in Tehran. A deputation from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade travelled to Iran in recent weeks, but I note the Senator's comments which I will bring to the attention of the Tánaiste.

Senator Mary Moran spoke about the collaboration between Dundalk IT and Dundalk FC. These developments are to be welcomed. I note her points about the Central Remedial Clinic and commending the Committee of Public Accounts which obviously has much more investigative work to carry out. The Senator also encouraged people to support charities, as donations have declined significantly since this issue arose.

Senator Sean D. Barrett made some points about Irish Water. I am sure he will make these points to the Minister of State, Deputy Fergus O'Dowd, when we have the debate tomorrow.

Senator Jim D'Arcy spoke about the right to guardianship for unmarried fathers. The children and family relationships Bill is on the A list of legislation, which indicates that it will be dealt with fairly soon. However, I know the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013 had its Second Stage reading in the Dáil and is awaiting Committee Stage; therefore, it will be some time before it reaches this House.

Senators Trevor Ó Clochartaigh and Michael Mullins referred to a decision of the courts which are entirely independent in the execution of their functions. It would be inappropriate, therefore, for me to make any comment on a decision of the court in this instance. The person to whom the Senators referred was convicted at Ennis District Court last month of endangering lives by entering the runway at Shannon Airport in late 2012. She was sentenced to three months in prison, a sentence which was suspended for two years on condition that she enter into a bond of good behaviour. Having failed to enter the bond, the sentence was activated by the court and she was committed to Limerick Prison.
