I did not say I believed it.

I certainly would not believe everything I read in that regard. In his Budget Statement the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform made it quite clear that there would be a review of public expenditure. I hope the budget announced in 2017 will be seen as the budget for the disabled because the Senator is correct when he says expenditure has been-----

The budget for this year.

No, the budget to be announced in the autumn. I will certainly be happy to organise a debate, not with the Taoiseach but with the Minister for Health because he is the line Minister with responsibility. I will be happy to work with the Senator in that regard.

It is not for the Government-----

I make the point to the Senator that we have set up quite a few cross-party subgroups in the House. Perhaps we might consider setting up a disability subgroup too. In that way we could work across party lines, as we are doing on the issues of mental health and obesity and as we did on the issue of symphysiotomy in the previous Oireachtas. I will be happy to talk further to the Senator further about the issue. I will also be happy to raise it at the meeting of group leaders tomorrow because it is an important issue.

Senators Ivana Bacik and Martin Conway referred to the Government's decision on foot of the recommendations made in Mr. Justice Iarfhlaith O'Neill's report on whistleblowers. I welcome the announcement made earlier today.

I will be happy to organise debates on the situation Syria and US immigration policy.

Senator Martin Conway posed a question about the use of taxes and tax increases which, perhaps, is an issue for debate prior to the budget. I will be happy to ask the Minister for Finance to come to the House to debate it.

Senator Mark Daly spoke about the leader of the DUP and a multiplicity of other issues. I do not propose to get into the nuances of the election campaign in the North. However, I share the views of the Senator and those of Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee on a different point about the Irish language, that it is important that people in the North who use Irish as their first language be supported in that regard. I have previously expressed the view which I reiterate today that the decision to withdraw funding for Irish language summer schools only to reinstate it was wrong. It should never have been withdrawn. The Government, as co-guarantor of the St. Andrew's Agreement, will continue to promote the use of the Irish language, including north of the Border.

In reference to Israel and Palestine, I will be happy to have the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade come to the House for a debate on the matter raised.

Senator Catherine Noone raised the issue of cyber safety. This is safer Internet usage week. All of us involved with children or those of us who have children of our own or who are in a position to influence should raise the issue of cyber awareness and safety in the context of Internet usage. There is a very good advertisement promoting cyber security which poses the question: "Would you let your child walk around Dublin, meeting several thousand people...?" That is potentially what can happen on the Internet. It is important, therefore, that we raise the point.

Senator Denis Landy referred to the greyhound industry. I will be happy to have the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Michael Creed, come to the House to discuss the issue. I am not aware of the details of appointments or reappointments. The Senator may be aware that the matter was discussed by the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine. I will be happy to arrange such a debate in the House.

Senator Keith Swanick referred to President Trump's policy on the pharmaceutical and medtech industries. The points made by the Senator are ones of which we should be much be more cognisant, given the changes in policy flagged by President Trump. US investment in Ireland last year amounted to €343 billion, an increase of 28% on the figure for 2014. Ireland constitutes 1% of the European economy but attracted 20% of all US foreign direct investment in Europe in 2015. More than 140,000 people are directly employed in over 700 US firms in Ireland, accounting for over 74% of IDA Ireland-supported employment. It would be worrying if the changes flagged were to come about. I will be happy to have the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor, come to the House to debate the issue.

Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee referred to Irish being the official language of Ireland in the European Union. I hope there will be no change in that regard. I certainly would not support any such change. I will be happy to have the relevant Minister come to the House to discuss the issue. The Senator might also consider raising it as a Commencement matter. The point she raises is worthy of support and I am happy to support her in that regard.

Senator Aidan Davitt referred to the national development plan and the proposals of the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, Deputy Simon Coveney, in the context of Ireland 2040. I will be happy to arrange a debate on the issue of decentralisation and how the programme collapsed under a previous Government led by Fianna Fáil. The issue raised by the Senator with reference to Mullingar is one-----
