I support the call by Senator Mullins for a debate on the diaspora. The Leader promised such a debate previously. There are many laudable elements in the strategy that was brought forward but, sadly, the issue around representation and voting rights for the diaspora has been left out. The Leader might clarify when we would have that debate.

A Minister should also come into the House to discuss the HSE document that was leaked by the Comptroller and Auditor General, albeit inadvertently, if that is what has happened.

I support the calls previously for a debate around the staff in these Houses. I find it quite strange because we have had debates here previously around workers' rights in the case of workers in Aer Lingus and workers in other organisations, so I do not see why the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation could not come into the House-----

Hear, hear.

-----to discuss workers' right issues and in regard to that we could bring up the situation of the ushers.

I have ruled on this. It is a matter of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission.

That does not mean that we cannot talk about it. We are not to be muzzled like poodles.

I suggest that the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation could be asked in to discuss workers' rights and as part of that we could certainly bring up the issues that have been brought up this morning as regards workers' rights in these Houses. I have concerns about this and I would like to see the clarification that has been asked for.

I have already ruled that this is not a matter for any particular Minister. This is a matter for the Oireachtas commission. It is internal to the Houses of the Oireachtas and it will be dealt with by the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission.

And we should be part of it.
