Senator Mary White also made a good contribution during that debate. We will arrange for her to make other contributions on job creation and employment, given that the good news will continue in the next 12 months.

Senator Feargal Quinn referred to the excellent report of the National Competitiveness Council. I am not sure whether the Attorney General can publish an opinion, but I note the Senator's points about upward-only rent reviews. It is also mentioned in the report that taxes are too high and that we are uncompetitive in that regard. In the recent budget the Government emphasised that taxes were too high and would come down. Workers will see the benefit of this in their pay packets from January and after the next budget.

Senator Cáit Keane raised the issue of violence against women and children, a matter which was also raised by Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh who emphasised the need for more funding for support services. In that regard, Senator Cáit Keane mentioned ChildFund Ireland and the need to keep the issue on the agenda. We all agree with her.

The Senator also called on Sinn Féin to use the privilege afforded by the Houses to name the alleged rapists and child abusers sent to this jurisdiction by kangaroo courts in Northern Ireland. I would not advise Members to abuse privilege in any way, a point which was also made by Senator Gerard P. Craughwell.

Senator Mary White mentioned the increase in the number of women drinking alcohol and the association between alcohol and breast cancer. That is something that needs to be highlighted in this House. We published a good public consultation report on cancer over one year ago in which the points made were highlighted by the experts in the area. There is a lack of information for women, in particular, on the abuse of alcohol.

Senator Michael Mullins referred to the future of the post office network and called for a debate on the issue with the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Alex White.

I will certainly seek to arrange it. He highlighted the intransigence of An Post in the case of a specific post office in County Galway. I am sure both he and the community will increase the pressure on An Post to maintain that post office.

Senator Terry Leyden also raised the issue of the below cost selling of alcohol which he did very well as a publican.
