The Senator might let me reply. He has had his say. I will come to what he said.

Senator Ivana Bacik raised a number of items, including the unveiling of a bust of Václav Havel in Leinster House this afternoon.

Senator Mark Daly spoke about the papal encyclical on climate change and the Pope's comments on the matter this morning. I prefer not to reply to points made by Senators on the Order of Business if they are not present when I am responding because they have not stayed in the Chamber. I will, however, disregard that policy on this occasion to remind Senator Mark Daly that the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015 has reached Committee Stage in the other House. As soon as the Bill completes its passage through that House, we will have a comprehensive debate on it here. Many Members, including the Deputy Leader, have sought such a debate on several occasions in order that we can deal with the issue of climate change.

The tourism and travel statistics referred to by Senator Michael Mullins certainly make for positive reading. The sector is a vital cog in the wheel of economic recovery. The Senator called for a further debate on tourism with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Paschal Donohoe. We will try to facilitate it.

I note Senator Feargal Quinn's points about air traffic controllers. For whatever reason, we hear about strikes practically every summer. It is an inconvenience to the airlines and passengers. As the Senator pointed out, the airlines are not responsible.

I also note the Senator's points about the proposed referendum in Britain on leaving the European Union. I am sure that issue will be a subject of conversation at the meeting taking place today between the Taoiseach and the British Prime Minister.

I do not know what I can say in response to the Senator's assertion that the Greek Prime Minister's wife intends to leave him if the Greek Government accepts certain terms. I think that is a matter for the Prime Minister, but I am sure we all hope a solution can be found.

Senators Aideen Hayden and Gerard P. Craughwell, among others, commended the former President, Mrs. Mary McAleese, for her letter in response to a deeply upsetting article in The New York Times about students with J1 visas. I agree that Irish-Americans should reconsider their attitude towards The New York Times as a result of this scurrilous article which has rightly been condemned by the Government and the former President.

Senators Aideen Hayden and Marie Moloney spoke about the private rented sector, in particular rent caps. They called on the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to take action immediately to provide certainty for tenants. The Minister had indicated that he would be bringing the matter to the attention of the Cabinet. I am sure that will happen soon. As soon as that is done, I hope he will come to this House to explain the position in that regard.

Senator Terry Leyden spoke about Russborough House, an issue which was raised yesterday by a number of Senators. I gave a reply on that occasion which I will give again today. It is worth noting that the foundation did not consult the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in advance of deciding to sell nine paintings from the Beit collection. The Minister was informed after the decision had been taken and an export licence had been granted by the National Gallery of Ireland. It is a devolved function of the gallery.

Not legally.
