First, I wish to propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that No. 17 be taken before No. 1.

Okay.

Could the Leader invite the Minister for Justice and Equality to the House for a discussion on community-based CCTV schemes? I welcome the fact that €1 million has been allocated to communities throughout the country for the installation of CCTV. Unfortunately, information received shows that there have been only four successful applications to date. This clearly shows that we have a problem with the scheme in that it appears to be too onerous for communities to take up. This is an awful pity because at a time when Garda numbers are low and we are trying to assist the gardaí in doing their job, the role of CCTV could be vital in assisting the gardaí. The communities and the gardaí want it.

The fact that only four applications have been approved illustrates that we have a problem with the scheme. I would like the Minister to come to the House for a debate on it so we can review the criteria for the scheme to simplify the process so that communities will be more forthcoming when it comes to applying. We are all aware of assaults, break-ins and loitering. The role that CCTV can play in our towns in helping to address these issues cannot be overstated. This is a serious issue. We all have a responsibility to bring in whatever measures are possible to assist gardaí to do their jobs. Could the Leader ask the Minister to come to the House so that we can have a debate about this scheme?

I second the amendment to the Order of Business by Senator Gavan, which is that No. 15 be taken before No. 1. If someone is dismissed by his or her employer and goes through an unfair dismissal procedure, his or her colleagues would be prohibited from collectively striking during that period. This effectively ties the hands of our trade unions. I support the Industrial Relations (Collective Action) Bill 2018.

I second Senator Gallagher's amendment, which is that No. 17 be taken before No. 1. We should not make a political football of the cervical cancer screening fiasco. There are very serious consequences for people involved. I offer my deepest concerns and sympathy to all the people involved who have serious issues relating to this matter.

The lack of attention by the HSE led us to this problem. Again, there is a bigger problem here and it is something we might need to look at. There has been a call over the years to take power and responsibility from politicians. This is one of the problems that has led us to this terrible scenario with cervical cancer screening. Nobody is responsible. A politician has to stand for election every number of years. If the people do not like the politician or the politician is not raising the concerns people have, be they with the health boards, complications with councils, planning or development plans, people can choose not to re-elect that politician.

There has been a serious disconnect. There was a great drive to put in faceless people who would make impartial decisions but we have seen where many of these impartial decisions have led us. Instead of worrying about more minor things and squabbling about different things here, the most important thing we should be doing here as politicians is making people responsible. Politicians are responsible because they stand for election. They must be elected, be it to the Seanad, the Dáil or the local council. When people are elected to these fora, they must stand before the people again, be it in four or five years' time or whenever that comes around. If they are not doing their work and if ordinary people have a concern like a problem with their health board or council or with legislation and their elected representative is not cutting the mustard, they will get rid of them. It is something we must look at seriously. The day of faceless people and faceless positions answering to nobody has to end. This is a watershed moment in Irish politics.
