I second the amendment proposed by Senator Mary Moran. However, there is an onus on speakers in the House to provide accurate information. Two speakers on the Opposition side said there were cuts for the rape crisis centres, but there have been no cuts for any rape crisis centre.

I said it was Rape Crisis Network Ireland.

The Senator said that, but two other speakers on the Opposition benches certainly referred to the "rape crisis centres". It is the network and we must distinguish what it does from what the rape crisis centres do. Rape Crisis Network Ireland does not offer frontline services but is a representative body for 14 rape crisis centres. Tusla stated on 11 June this year that it would maintain the €4 million grant aid for the rape crisis centres and increase by €500,000 the resources being put into them. I want to make sure there is no misunderstanding because I have a sneaking suspicion that the information being given is not being given in error. It is important we clarify the role of Rape Crisis Network Ireland and that of the rape crisis centres.

I support colleagues on the motion about Rape Crisis Network Ireland. The Senator will be able to watch a programme tonight about the work of Rape Crisis Network Ireland in County Kerry, the valuable work it does and how its funding is being cut.

That is the rape crisis centre. Will the Senator give accurate information?

As the Senator will know, the situation is dire and every time there is a trial reported in the newspapers or on television, as we will see tomorrow in relation to Fr. Brendan Smyth, Cardinal Brady and others, it means the victims relive their experience. Rape Crisis Network Ireland and those who support it have been damaged and have suffered from a grievous crime and for the Government to do this is an attack on the most vulnerable.

Facts do not seem to matter on the Opposition side.

The Labour Party is used to breaking promises and the Senator is used to defending the indefensible, but when he sees the work Rape Crisis Network Ireland does in County Kerry, he will hear about the loss of funding when all they have to do is look at the person to the left, to the right, to the front or to the back to see a victim.

One day the Senator will come here and give factual information.

That will be the day.

Senator John Gilroy is defending the indefensible, as usual, and talks out of both sides of his mouth. Others had Commencement matters on this issue, but we will see how they vote because how they vote on questions relating to the most vulnerable is the most important. Actions speak louder than words. When the motion comes up I hope Members opposite will reflect on it. The most vulnerable people in society are being attacked by the Government and their funding is being cut, as we saw in the case of lone parents and others, but the Labour Party continues to tout the line that social welfare payments have not been cut. We know from lone parents and others that they will be suffering a cut on Thursday.

Accuracy and honesty do not matter in this House. Nonsense repeated is still nonsense.

I am asking for a debate and look forward to hearing from Government Members opposite, especially those in the Labour Party who talk on radio, on the one hand, while, on the other, they vote against Rape Crisis Network Ireland and other organisations which provide so much valuable support for the most vulnerable.

The Senator is way over time. He should resume his seat.

These people have suffered and will continue to suffer if the Government goes ahead with the cuts.

What did Fianna Fáil do?
