I propose an amendment to the Order of Business. I call for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to come before the House today to discuss the Garth Brooks concerts and the economic impact a cancellation will have on Dublin city. Yesterday, I chaired a press conference in Buswells Hotel comprising the head of Dublin Chamber of Commerce, the Restaurants Association of Ireland, the Irish Hotels Federation and the Licensed Vintners Association, all of whom are greatly concerned about the economic damage this debacle is doing to our city. If the concerts do not go ahead, 400,000 fans will miss out but Dublin city will lose €50 million of business that is badly needed by small businesses across the city like hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, retailers and taxi drivers. I refer to small business people right across the city who employ thousands of people and are badly reliant on concert revenue.

The cancellation of concerts will all do huge damage to Ireland's reputation as a tourist destination. Tourism is Ireland's number one domestic industry and is far more significant to the economy than agriculture, manufacturing or any other industry. The debacle over concerts has done great damage to the sector because 70,000 of the 400,000 tickets were sold to people overseas who booked flights, paid for accommodation and do not know over two weeks beforehand whether they are coming to Ireland. For an event of this scale to be in such doubt is a serious mess. Today is the last day to find a solution and, therefore, it is incumbent on the Government to act on this matter.

Last night Dublin City Council voted. The councillors are the direct representatives of people and were democratically elected and voted for the five concerts to go ahead. However, the Dublin City manager has refused to change his mind and has said he will not change his original decision. It is incumbent on the Government to get involved given the economic consequences of the event. The Minister should come in here to discuss the matter and the Government should accept the legislation that my colleague, Deputy Timmy Dooley, is putting forward in the other House. We can then look at longer-term issues that have been raised such as changing the licensing system to ensure we never end up in a similar situation again.

I add my voice of congratulations to Joan Burton and Alan Kelly on being elected leader and deputy leader, respectively, of the Labour Party last Friday evening. I find it fitting that the first woman leader of the Labour Party was elected on the same day that a women for election breakfast meeting took place at Iveagh House that was hosted by Deputy Eamon Gilmore and was one of his last functions as Tánaiste. I wish Deputy Gilmore well and I wish the new leader and deputy leader well. They are both able and capable politicians.

I wish to mention the recently published figures that reveal a substantial increase in the number of children and young people on the child and adolescent mental health services waiting list. I raised the issue of children, specifically children with an intellectual disability, accessing mental health services during Private Members' time last week. As of 31 March more than 3,000 children and young people await mental health referrals. We also have an unacceptable number of young people being admitted into adult psychiatric units as highlighted in the recent report by the inspectorate of mental health services.

We need an urgent debate on mental health services for children and young people. As I have said on numerous occasions, in my own area we do not have a child psychiatrist for children with intellectual disability. There are also huge problems assessing CAMHS even to accept them onto the list, which only takes people with a mild intellectual disability. Also, the service stops at 16 years regardless, even though it has been said that it continues until children are 17 years. We not only have an issue with waiting lists and admissions to adult units but also a serious issue with consistent treatment. I imagine that the consistency that exists will suffer as a result of the pressure being placed on the service due to the significant increase in the number of children on the CAMHS waiting list and awaiting referrals. When one compares the current figures with the same period last year, it shows an 11% increase in the number of children on waiting lists.

Is the Senator looking for a debate?
