-----so that the Senator can be given more time.

He is well over his time already.

I beg your pardon, a Chathaoirligh.

If the Senator has issues with the increments, etc., he may consider writing to the commission and I am sure they will be dealt with.

We will send them the Order of Business.

I suggest that rather than bringing Ministers in, we could get Senator Norris to address the House because he makes a lot of sense, speaks from the heart and tells many home truths. I fully concur with the sentiments he expressed.

I would like to raise a much more mundane local issue that is quite serious. Will the Leader raise with the relevant Department the fact that Edmonton national school in County Westmeath has been denied works and money under the summer school improvement scheme? It received a menial amount of money in response to last summer's application. It needs approximately €40,000 of restoration works. This is quite serious because teachers and pupils are being inconvenienced. The toilets have not been upgraded since the school was built in 1965. This is causing health and safety concerns. These works should be done immediately. I would appreciate it if the Leader could raise the case of Edmonton national school in County Westmeath with the Department.
