On a point of information, I was referring to the debate in this House on Irish Water.

There is no such thing as a point of information. I ask the Senator to resume her seat.

I supported the introduction of water charges, but the way in which they have been rolled out is wrong.

The Senator was an Independent.

I ask Senator Fidelma Healy Eames to resume her seat.

We had a full debate in this House on the water services legislation.

But we did not receive answers.

Members of the House are being very hard on the Deputy Leader.

There was a far better approach taken to the debate in the Seanad than in the Dáil.

Senator Mark Daly spoke about water charges and NAMA, issues on which I have responded. He also spoke about the desecration of the grave of William T. Cosgrave. I appreciate his comments as it is important that we all condemn the desecration of any grave but particularly that of a person who played such a prominent role in Irish history and politics.

Senator Thomas Byrne referred to water charges and the situation in Northern Ireland, in respect of which he has raised a very important issue and on which I will seek a debate because he is correct that there is a crisis in governance there. Senator Sean D. Barrett recently referred to the need for vigilance to ensure we did not sleepwalk further into a crisis. While we must take proactive steps, I disagree with Senator Thomas Byrne on the approach adopted by the Government which has made strong interventions. It would be useful, however, to hear about what is going on. Senator Ned O'Sullivan also sought a debate on the situation in the North which I will be happy to seek to arrange and in which it would be useful to hear from colleagues on the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, on which I served during the last term of this House. I would like to know how its members see issues developing in the North. The Minister must come before the House to discuss the issue.
