For the fourth day in a row, a proposed amendment to the Order of Business requests that we bring the Attorney General to the House. On this fourth occasion I will repeat that the Government has initiated a commission of inquiry investigation. The Fianna Fáil Party continues to play politics. I think Fianna Fáil Members should quit doing this because they have done enough damage to themselves. They should take time to take a pull. People are fed up with their antics for a number of weeks.

Thanks for the advice.

The matter was decided by the Houses of the Oireachtas when the motion of no confidence was defeated in the Dáil. It should be left at that because I would hate to see the Members opposite doing more damage to themselves.

Senators Darragh O'Brien, Michael Mullins and Ned O'Sullivan referred to online discount and savings offers on completesavings.ie.

Was that point okay?

What I heard today was disturbing, as I had not heard of it, but from what the Senators have mentioned, it is absolutely despicable. Perhaps the way to get further information on the matter from the Minister is to raise it on the Adjournment. Such practices should be carefully examined. I am disappointed State bodies are involved in such schemes.

Senator Ivana Bacik welcomed the fall in unemployment to 11.8%. The decrease is to be welcomed by all. To reiterate what she said, we cannot stop at this. Job creation and the economy have been and will continue to be the first priority of the Government. We would not be happy for the rate of unemployment to remain at 11.8%. This is the 21st month in a row we have seen a fall in the unemployment figures, which is to be welcomed.

On the issue of universal health insurance Senator Ivana Bacik was joined by Senators Trevor Ó Clochartaigh, Michael Mullins, Fidelma Healy Eames and others in welcoming the White Paper. As a White Paper is a discussion document, the Government is inviting comments from all side on the issue of universal health insurance. I am sure the Joint Committee on Health and Children will debate it at length and I hope we will have an opportunity to debate it in the House. We have public consultation hearings organised in the next month or two, which will take us up to September, but we can consider other matters also. We are dealing with the issue of human rights in the periodic review. The hearings will take place sometime in May.

Senators Feargal Quinn, Aideen Hayden and Fidelma Healy Eames mentioned the fact that only four cases had been successfully resolved by the Insolvency Service of Ireland. The Minister has stated that after this body beds down - it is bedding down but it has only been in place for one year - the Government will review the legislation. I will certainly bring the matter to his attention. I think it is his intention to have the legislation reviewed and amended, if necessary.

Senator Feargal Quinn proposed an amendment to the Order of Business that No. 9 on the Order Paper be taken before No. 1. I have no problem in acceding to that request.

Senator Cáit Keane raised the issue of violence against women and requested that we debate and sign the Istanbul Convention. I will certainly have that issue examined.

Senators Marc MacSharry and Paschal Mooney raised a number of matters. The theatrical expertise of Senator Marc MacSharry came to the fore when he referred to the proposed closure of railway lines. Some people believe everything they read in the newspapers. When we talk about the closure of railway lines, I can think of the wholesale closure of railway lines in the 1960s by the then Fianna Fáil Government. Many of the lines in question were viable. I can give one example in my constituency, namely, the closure of the railway line from Waterford to Tramore. It would be a goldmine now.

What about Carlingford?

Many more railway lines were closed.

Reopen it. What about the railway line in the Minister of State, Deputy Alan Kelly's county of Tipperary and his special train?

I am glad that the Senator is showing concern for something that might be closed. The Fianna Fáil Party closed railway lines many years ago without recourse to the public. It does make any difference what year it was.

We might as well be talking about Ernest Blythe and his pension.

The Senator has gone off track again.

Does the Leader want a history lesson or does he want he want to return to reality?

Senators Terry Brennan and Martin Conway called for the chief executive of Ryanair to be invited to address the House, a matter which will be brought to the Committee on procedure and Privileges.

Senators David Norris, Paschal Mooney and Mary Ann O'Brien referred to the hate mail sent to the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter. This must be condemned by all and I thank the Senators for raising the matter. It is despicable that there are people who would send hate mail. Senator David Norris had previously called for the resignation of the Minister, but I fully respect that he also said Deputy Alan Shatter had remarkable qualities as a reforming Minister.

Senator Paul Coghlan suggested taxpayers could not always be asked to foot the bill for non-performing railway lines or other infrastructure, but I am sure a cost benefit analysis will be undertaken of any railway line before closure is contemplated.

Senator Eamonn Coghlan mentioned that the Government needed to continue to focus on job creation and the economy. The Government has been doing this for the past three years and it is beginning to bear fruit with the upturn in the economy.

Senator Martin Conway welcomed the fact that Ryanair was driving increased passenger numbers to Ireland. With the opening of new routes, it is expected that an additional 1.4 million tourists will visit Ireland.

I will not get into a debate with Senator Mary Ann O'Brien on the location of the national children's hospital; the matter has been decided and the project will proceed. We have received many reports on the site and I think most, if not all, people, except those who may have vested interests, want the project to proceed.
