A number of people in my area have brought to my attention the new or not so new concept of angel workshops. It purports to provide angel therapy, a non-denominational spiritual healing system. It may seem like a funny subject until one realises that people are paying €50 or €60 per session to talk to the angels. Some of the people who have contacted me have other illnesses, including psychological illnesses. I have carried out some research into the matter. It has been in existence since 1958. Nonetheless, there is no proven benefit. People are entitled to do what they like with their money and to provide whatever services they like. I want the Deputy Leader to inquire from Revenue and the Minister for Finance as to whether this operation which is spreading across the country at a rate that only angels could do is tax compliant and that there is some regulation of it. In the world I live in there is one Lord, one God, but everybody is entitled to believe whatever they want to believe. Given that this organisation and its workshops are extracting €50 or €60 for an afternoon sitting in a room in the belief one is being put in contact with angels, some regulation needs to be applied to it.

Are they getting through?

I ask the Deputy Leader to raise the matter with the Minister and perhaps she might have some divine intervention in the matter.

I do not believe I have ever been asked to exercise divine intervention powers. I thank the Senator.

There is always a first.
