It is particularly difficult to make my contribution.

The father of the House should resume his seat.

I did not resume my seat because-----

May I start again?

I did not want to pass in front of the speaker.

Senator-----

He is such a prima donna.

It is ruining his video.

It is, actually.

Senator Norris is being unfair to Senator Ó Ríordáin.

I would be a lot more unfair if I had passed to Senator Craughwell.

The Senator can go around the back, or to wherever he wants to sit. He should sit anyway.

Arrah, sit down here beside me, David, why don't you?

I will sit down beside my friend and colleague Senator Rónán Mullen. We shall discuss abortion.

Senator Ó Ríordáin, without interruption.

My problem is that, having just come from an RTÉ debate on education, I am back in principal mode. Students should be seated at all times.

Order, please. One at a time. Senator Ó Ríordáin should continue.

I appreciate that the Leader has facilitated the debate. It is a timely one.

My second point is on multidenominational education. There was a Commencement debate yesterday on the five schools across the State that have limited enrolment, the Educate Together schools. There is an ongoing issue concerning the relationship between the State and schools that are selling off lands. With Councillor Deirdre Kingston, I met a group yesterday that is very concerned about the issue in Clonkeen. We are concerned about the lack of movement on Educate Together second level schools and on the baptism barrier. There is a considerable debate that needs to be had in this Chamber with the Minister on the relationship between the State and patron bodies and on the facts that patron bodies are selling off lands under the noses of boards of management, that boards of management are now being threatened with abolition, that primary schools that do not have religious patronage are now being told they can have only a certain number of students in September, and that Educate Together skills at second level are not getting support from the Department.

A related Commencement matter is selected for tomorrow.

That is news to me. That is great and much appreciated. I do not know what to say now. I talked about housing-----

The Senator need not repeat himself. He can save it all for tomorrow.

The Leas-Cheann Comhairle just ruined my Facebook video.

Sorry about that.
