Does the Leader have an indication from the Government as to when, post the budget, the social welfare and pensions Bill will be brought before the House? I assume it will be within the next couple of weeks. I raise the issu because all Members of the House, including Government Members, should be aware that it offers a real opportunity to the Government to redress the total unfairness pertaining to the Aer Lingus and airport pensions. Many Members will have received extensive e-mails from normal families around the country whose promised pensions the Government proposes to cut by up to 60%. There may be an unintended consequence in this regard and in advance of publication of the social welfare and pensions Bill, I urge Government Members, in particular, to impress on the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Joan Burton, that it offers an opportunity to address this imbalance, particularly for the deferred members of those schemes who face cuts of up to 60%. I am aware that some Labour Party Senators, in particular, have been deeply involved in the background in this regard, but it will be time for people to put their money where their mouths are during the passage of the Bill. More importantly, it will be the time to save many families from extensive drastic cuts to their pensions. I ask Members to read in detail what has been sent to them by normal families and people who are due to retire in the next couple of years regarding the cuts that will be brought on them by the Government should this issue not be rectified in the Bill.

I note that today is European Restart a Heart Day. I listened to a radio interview on Newstalk this morning with a young man from Swords named Darragh Lawlor, whom I know quite well. He carried out cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, on an individual on Main Street in Swords who happened to be his uncle, although he did not realise this was the case. He kept the man alive who has now recovered fully. A total of 70% of cardiac arrests happen in the home and the purpose of European Restart a Heart Day is to try to encourage people to upskill in the area of CPR. While I am aware that the Minister for Health is due to come into the House on 4 November, there will be a lot to go through and I believe a separate debate in the House on a national policy on defibrillation and defibrillators is merited. Certain councils and areas of the country are good at it, but I refer to a national policy, as opposed to a roll-out of defibrillators. I also suggest to the Leas-Chathaoirleach that schools are an ideal place for young adults to learn these skills, particularly in transition year. Does the Department of Education and Skills have a policy whereby there can be a roll-out through the schools, thus ensuring all young adults would be trained in CPR techniques? I ask the Leader to arrange a debate specifically on this issue in the next few weeks. It is important and a job Members could do here to inform Government policy on the roll-out of defibrillators and the provision of training in life-saving CPR.

I thank Senator Darragh O'Brien for a good idea on CPR on this day. I am certain that some schools engage in CPR training and understand the Senator's suggestion to be that it could be formalised and set in place in order that all schools might be able to avail of it. Thereafter, young people going out into the world would have such training at their disposal and this might be a matter on which Members could engage in this House.

In respect of pensions, the Senator is absolutely correct that a number of Labour Party Senators have raised this matter with the Tánaiste and will continue to raise it with her in the next few weeks.

I take the opportunity to welcome the reassurances of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin, regarding those persons who fell between the several changes to the water allowances, that is, those who fell neither into the fuel allowance additional measures nor the tax relief measures. The Department is well aware that a number of people fall between these positions and the Minister and his Department will find ways to make sure they are not left out of the changes made regarding the payments for water and Irish Water.

It was not very bright of him.

Senator Susan O'Keeffe to continue, without interruption.

Perhaps it is the case that it is a little more complex than that. Having engaged in a conversation with the Minister on this matter, he has explained and will explain to anyone who asks that it is not deliberate but rather that when making the measure on a single piece of paper, there are some people for whom one size simply does not fit all. However, the Government is well aware that there are people who fall between the two measures and there is every intent to make sure they do not remain outside them.

Panic measures.

I welcome the holding of the One Young World Summit 2014 in Dublin. Members may be aware that Dublin put in a bid and the aforementioned summit is being held here. Members are in the presence of a group of young people this morning and really this is about bringing leadership and encouraging young people to take their place in the world and allow their voices to be heard. They are the leaders of the future and it is good to see some of the older mentors such as Mary Robinson, Kofi Annan and Bob Geldof in Dublin to share their thoughts and wisdom with young people. It is a good day and a good place to have them.

On a number of occasions I have raised matters relating to the special investigations unit of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. While I accept that it has been disbanded, I am concerned about its legacy. If the Minister finds it difficult to attend the House because of the nature of the issues that led to the unit's disbanding, he may need to put in place an investigation into its legacy. The unit operated for many years, behaved like a private hit squad and effectively ruined the lives and reputations of a number of farmers. It is not enough just to disband the unit; we must examine its legacy and what it did. The confidence that the Department's new investigations division needs will not be there if the old system has not been thoroughly interrogated in a fashion that gives results and shows that there is nothing to hide. If there were problems, let us know what they were. Otherwise, we will not change or learn.
