Senator Paschal Mooney asked about the Joint Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and its 15-point plan for small businesses, especially in rural Ireland. The Senator called for the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Richard Bruton, to come into the House to discuss the proposals made. I will certainly try to get the Minister to come to the House as it is a very important issue. The Senator made a number of suggestions about rates and free car parking, but local authorities would have to compensated for the loss of rates and car parking revenue. Nevertheless, the matters can be discussed. We will try to arrange a debate on the matter as soon as possible.

Senators Aideen Hayden and Sean D. Barrett spoke about matters arising from the banking inquiry. I would prefer to wait until we have the report from the inquiry in order that we could discuss everything at that stage. Otherwise we would discuss bits and pieces as they came up in the inquiry day by day.

The report on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership which will be launched today will show that a comprehensive EU-US trade deal would add up to 1.1% to Irish GDP, creating between 5,000 and 10,000 additional jobs in the exporting sector of the economy and providing benefits amounting, on average, to €1,200 per family. It is something on which we can have a discussion at a later date.

Senators Jillian van Turnhout, Marie Moloney and Gerard P. Craughwell spoke about child and adolescent mental health services. We will certainly try to get the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, to come to the House for a debate on the matter. As Senator Jillian van Turnhout said, the Minister of State has been in the House previously to speak about the matter, but we can certainly try to get her to come again.

Senator Hildegarde Naughton lauded the Irish Cancer Society's Daffodil Day and urged support for what was a very worthy cause. With Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh, the Senator also spoke about the kerosene contamination of the water supply on an estate in Galway. She highlighted the delays in dealing with the matter and said she had brought it to the attention of the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. It is a very serious matter and as delays cannot be tolerated, I will follow it up with the Minister.

Senator Sean D. Barrett welcomed the Taoiseach's visit to Northern Ireland and meeting with the victims of atrocities.

Senator Marie Moloney also called for a debate on suicide. We have had a number of debates on the issue, but I agree with the Senator that it is something we have to keep on the agenda at all times.

Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh spoke about voting rights for the diaspora, especially in presidential elections. We can try to find out what the Government's proposals are. Giving votes to the diaspora is not as simple as it sounds and there is a lot to be done first. We could have a situation where more people outside than inside the country would vote for the President. Such matters have to be taken into consideration.

The Senator also made points about the direct provision system, as he has done on a number of occasions. We will try to get the relevant Minister to come to the House to address the matter and talk about the report.

Senator Paul Coghlan talked about the matter of mortgage stress and the need for all banks to engage in a process with customers.

Senator Diarmuid Wilson asked about medical cards for children with special needs. I will try to obtain the information sought from the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch.

Senator Colm Burke said there was a need for a further debate on the reform of the health service, in particular, the recruitment of nurses and care workers. The Minister for Health has been in the House on a number of occasions, but I am sure he would be willing to come again.

Senator David Norris spoke about the referendum. We will have plenty of time to discuss that matter. As the Senator said, as with any referendum, the result is in the balance until the people decide. I note his points on the selection process for the presidential election. I will try to find out what the up-to-date position is and whether the proposed legislation will be brought forward.

Senator Terry Brennan welcomed the new high-tech survey vessel, the RV Tonn, which will carry out very important work around the coastline.

Senator Thomas Byrne asked about EirGrid and the undergrounding of cables. I am sure we will have plenty of debates on the matter in the House with the Minister.

Senators Gerard P. Craughwell and Rónán Mullen proposed an amendment to the Order of Business regarding the arrangements for the Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Marriage Equality) Bill 2015. It has been normal, especially when dealing with Bills providing for the holding of a referendum, to take Committee and Remaining Stages on the same day. We have given a lot of time to the matter and will devote a lot of time to it again today.

Therefore, I do not propose to accept the amendment proposed to the Order of Business that Report Stage be taken on Monday.
