Through the Chair, please.

I gave a response to Senators Wilson and Gallagher. I understand the sensitivities of the matter they raised but I hope they will take my assurance that I hope to have the Minister, Deputy Naughten, come to the House.

On the matter raised by Senator Devine, I welcome today's launch by the National Youth Council of Ireland of a portal. If Senator Ó Domhnaill gives me a note on the matter he raised regarding new communities, I would be happy to have the Minister come to the House.

If the two proposed amendments could be deferred I would be happy not to proceed with the division now. I am anxious to work with both Members on the matters.

For the record, under Standing Orders we have ten minutes for the Leader to respond. We are just touching 25 minutes now. That is how time evaporates. The first matter is a proposed amendment by Senator Gallagher. The Senator has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment on the need to place the North-South interconnector underground be taken today." Is the Senator pressing the amendment?

I accept the Leader's proposition. If the Leader can give us a commitment that the review proposed by the Minister will not proceed until such time as the meeting takes place, I would be happy to hold off on it.

I cannot speak for the Minister but I am happy to have him come to the House to discuss the matter. I have it down on the agenda for this month. I cannot speak for the Minister but I am happy to talk to the Senator to ensure we can have the debate and discussion.

I respect the Leader's opinion. If he cannot get the commitment from the Minister, we will revisit the matter again in the House. I ask the Leader to use his good offices to contact the Minister and ask him to hold off on it.
