I note SIPTU has stated it wants to see commitments on jobs, in particular, which is very important. Senator Darragh O'Brien also asked that the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, come to the House to brief us on the issue. That is very fair and I will ask the Minister to do this, as it would be most useful.

Senator Paul Coghlan welcomed the public consultation committee's report on farm safety which was published today. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has been formally invited to come to the House to debate this welcome report on a very important issue. We certainly hope to have that debate shortly.

Senator Jillian van Turnhout referred to the marriage equality referendum result. I agree that it was a momentous day and thank her for her kind comments. She also sought a debate on the system of direct provision and, in particular, that the report commissioned by the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, and the Minister of State, Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, be debated in the Seanad first. I will certainly look for that to happen because it would be appropriate, given the huge amount of work the Seanad has done on the issue, on which I have asked for a briefing. I understand the report is at a very advanced stage and due to be completed in the near future. I hope we can have that debate before the end of this term.

Senator Sean D. Barrett raised the issue of Aer Lingus. I cannot accede to his request to amend the Order of Business. I will, however, ask the Minister for Transpoprt, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Paaschal Donohoe, to come to the House once he is in a position to do so to discuss the issue with us. We can, therefore, have a debate on the deal, although it would be premature to do so today.

Senator Marie Moloney asked for a debate on funding to support national organisations and the Minister for Health to come to the House. I will certainly look to that debate arranged.

A large number of Senators spoke and I am conscious that we would be here for some time if I was to respond to all of them. Many of them have not stayed to hear the responses to their requests. I did say the last time I was Deputy Leader that I did not believe we should continue to facilitate those who came into the Chamber, often at the very end of the Order of Business, to speak and then left when other colleagues were trapped here, listening to a lengthy response from the Leader to Members who were not present. With the permission of those who are in the Chamber, I will only respond to those who are present and if anyone listening on the monitor wants to receive a response, he or she can come to the House. On that basis, I will respond to Senator Katherine Zappone, to whom again I pay tribute. She welcomed the result of the marriage equality referendum and spoke about the incredible journey it had been for her personally and Ms Ann Louise Gilligan. I wish her the very best. Her proposal on television was very moving.

With customary eloquence, Senator David Norris spoke about referendum fatigue. He is quite right that the debate has to move on also. I pay tribute to him for his enormous work on the issue. We will have the marriage Bill before the end of July and there is also the Private Members' Bill I introduced two years ago dealing with section 37 which, as the House knows, is before the Seanad.

Well done.
