I join Senator Feighan in commenting on Declan Rice's decision to declare his allegiance to the English international soccer team instead of the Republic. He is quite entitled to make this decision. I understand that he qualified to play for the Republic through his grandparents and he was, after all, born and reared in England and is entitled to declare for his own country.

I want to focus on the abuse Declan Rice is receiving on so-called social media. I have raised this on several occasions in this House and other fora. The Deputy Leader has experienced some of this in the past, as have other Members of the House. It is time we stood up and legislated for the proper use of social media. While I understand it is not easy to do that because of the international context of these media, it is important to take a first step and the onus is on us in this Oireachtas to do so.

I highlighted the case of an up and coming country and western star who has suffered physically, mentally and financially because of the horrific abuse he is receiving on social media. I have reported the case to the Garda Síochána, through the Commissioner, and an investigation is under way. In many respects, in spite of threats to this individual, the Garda's hands are tied because there is no law to prevent this horrific abuse on social media. It is time we stood up and made a start for innocent people going about their business. People like Eamonn Jackson in County Cavan and Declan Rice in England are suffering unwarranted abuse from keyboard warriors without any consideration of the damage it causes their physical and mental health and financial well-being. I ask the Deputy Leader to use her good offices to start the ball rolling in that regard.

Following on from the Declan Rice conversation, we should not forget that the League of Ireland season starts tomorrow night and I encourage everyone interested in Irish soccer to get out and support their local club. I also wish Harry Kenny and all at St. Patrick's Athletic in Inchicore the best in their quest for Europe and a push for the title this year.

The 44% underspend on Traveller accommodation in 2018 is unacceptable. It follows an underspend in 2017 when only €4.8 million of the allocation of €8.7 million was spent. It is not good enough. The 2018 budget was €12 million. Sinn Féin welcomes the establishment of the working group that is reviewing Traveller accommodation programmes but the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government has to explain why for the second year there has been an underspend on his watch.

He should engage with local authorities who are failing to invest in Traveller accommodation and the State should intervene wherever these authorities refuse to adequately fund Traveller accommodation. I do not need to say it, but the failure to deliver good and quality accommodation is how we end up with tragedies like Carrickmines. We should hear from the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, as to why there is a consistent and repeated underspend on Traveller accommodation.
