When we consider that this is the 100th anniversary of Cumann na mBan, we can see that equality eludes us still. This can be compared with the commemoration for the 100th anniversary of the Irish Volunteers in the Garden of Remembrance, broadcast live on television, at which the President spoke and there was a guard of honour. The commemoration for the 100th anniversary of Cumann na mBan was on a Wednesday. The President did not speak at the event, nor did any Minister. The chairman of the Glasnevin Trust was the main speaker. One would have to say that equality eludes still when last year for the first time in the history of the State a bridge over the River Liffey-----

Senator Mark Daly to continue, without interruption.

I am sorry, Paul; I did not hear you.

Through the Chair, please, Senator.

I was interrupted again, Paul.

Senator Ivana Bacik is the Deputy Leader today. I ask Senator Mark Daly to speak through the Chair. Does he have a question for the Deputy Leader?

For the first time in the history of the State a bridge over the Liffey was named after a woman, a member of Cumann na mBan. Considering Dublin is quite an old city, that in itself is a disgrace. I propose an amendment to the Order of Business to include our motion that the Government name previously unnamed roads, buildings and parks after Cumann na mBan and its members. I ask Members on both sides of the House to consider how many public buildings, parks and roads are named after women. They would be very hard-pressed to name five. Equality eludes us still. Given that the Deputy Leader would support it, perhaps she would press for what has happened in other counties, including in Carrick-on-Suir and Carrick-on-Shannon, where, following motions from this party, it has been proposed that public parks and housing infrastructure be named after Cumann na mBan. That is happening in Cork and Kerry, where the President's wife will open a park in honour of Cumann na mBan.

I also call for a debate on emigration and employment. A report by UCC shows that up to 60% of those who emigrate are leaving employment. When the Government claims it is creating jobs, the reality is that emigration is creating jobs, because 60% of those leaving are leaving jobs and those jobs are being filled by others. Thus, it is not a recovery; it is just a recovery by emigration.
