Senators Niall Ó Donnghaile and Maria Byrne made reference to Brexit, a matter we have already discussed.

Senator Jennifer Murnane O'Connor mentioned the banks. I am not quite sure what the story with the buying of sterling is in the banks. Some of us go into banks to buy foreign currency when we travel abroad. I am sure one can buy it. I am not quite sure, but perhaps it is a matter for local branches to have a volume or quantity of sterling available.

Is the Leader having trouble answering the question?

It is news to me that there is an issue in buying sterling.

Senator Michelle Mulherin referred to vacant units and the need for a plan in that regard. It is an important issue. The Minister has tried to address the matter in his plan.

Senator Aidan Davitt mentioned the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor. She has outlined a policy not just in this House but also through the Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, who has outlined a fundamentally sound policy on Brexit in the context of a strategy for financial services. He has spoken in Luxembourg at meetings of eurozone Ministers. He is of the view that at least two announcements will be made by the end of the year by companies that intend to expand in Ireland. He also believes Ireland is the location of choice. A lot of work has been done in this area in which we are targeting specific companies.

I neglected to mention Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh who referred to rural transport links. The Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs will be in the House on 17 November to discuss issues within her brief. I hope we can also get the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to come to the House, as suggested by the Senator.

As the Senator knows, there has been a family bereavement; therefore, it would be inappropriate to ask the Minister to come to the House this week. We will wait until next week to ask him.

Senators Paul Coghlan and Ned O'Sullivan referred to St. Mary of the Angels in Beaufort, County Kerry. The matter is of huge concern to the families in question. It is a fact that as a society we must face up to how we deal with the issue of displacement from congregated settings into the community. This and other Governments have followed a policy of closing institutions and moving people to live in the community. This has had an impact and the impact Senator Paul Coghlan, in particular, outlined articulately of the distress caused by the loss of familiarity and routine in the day-to-day lives of those affected is one we must try to work to overcome. I hope the families will be engaged with, that information will be provided and that the issues raised by the Senators will be addressed. I will be happy to have the matter discussed with the Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, or the relevant Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, in particular. It is one to which we will have to face up as a nation. We have an ageing population of men and women with a disability who have become used to routine. It is an issue we all face in our communities, one to which we should return and perhaps deal with in a special debate.
