Senator Marie Moloney spoke about Clodagh Cogley, one of the young people who were very badly injured in the accident in Berkeley. Her words on Facebook were inspirational. A wonderful and inspirational gentleman appeared on "The John Murray Show" this morning. He was injured many years ago after a dive at the Forty Foot and is now in a wheelchair. His words about Clodagh and the other young people injured were also inspirational. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families. I hope they will make a significant, if not a complete, recovery from the horrific injuries they suffered.

Senator Marie Moloney also referred to the national strategy for suicide prevention. It is a very important strategy that brings all of the agencies involved together to combat suicide. I assure the Senator that we will try to have a debate as soon as possible on the strategy. We have debated the issue on several occasions in the House, rightly so. It would be an apt time to have a further debate on it.

In response to the points made by Senators Feargal Quinn and Martin Conway, we should all praise the Irish consul in San Francisco, Mr. Philip Grant, for his work in Berkeley. It highlights the importance of the diplomatic service which does a lot of work that goes unnoticed in many cases, but when something like what happened in Berkeley happens, it shows its true colours. It does an excellent job in representing us and helping Irish people abroad when required to do so. We should all compliment the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on its efforts in this regard in areas throughout the world where we have diplomatic missions.

Senator Feargal Quinn also made a point, a point that was made by Senator Paul Bradford yesterday, about older people being allowed to stay at home for as long as possible. That is the policy of the Government, but it needs to be enforced to a greater degree. We need greater supports to allow older people to remain at home rather than spending €1 billion on the fair deal scheme. It is necessary to do so in many cases, but I am sure quite a number of those who have availed of the scheme would be happier in their own homes and could be facilitated in so doing. We must all aspire to achieve this objective.

Senators Terry Brennan and Jim Walsh spoke about tourism. We have seen a significant increase in the number of visitors. Certainly, the Government's decision to reduce the rate of VAT to 9% and abolish the travel tax has had a major impact. I note what Senator Jim Walsh said about tourism and his argument that the Ancient East should be promoted significantly. I know that the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport is in Waterford today visiting a number of tourism spots. I have arranged for him to come to the House next week to discuss the strategy for tourism for many years ahead.

Senators Diarmuid Wilson and Kathryn Reilly spoke about the planned redundancies in Liberty Insurance. If they happen, it will certainly be a devastating blow to the families and communities involved.

I will try to get the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation to come to the House, before the recess if possible, to outline the policies of IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland on balanced regional development, which policies have been developed in the past six months.

Senator Martin Conway referred to small businesses and raised the question of removing red tape, which the Government is doing its best to remove. He also referred to EU directives and how quickly we transposed them into Irish law and mentioned that other countries did not do so as quickly. I note his point in that regard. I hope it is an issue in which the House will have a greater say in the future.

I do not propose to accept the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Gerard P. Craughwell. We dealt with a similar motion only a day or two ago.
