I raise two matters relating to the mid west. First is yesterday's good news with €10 million announced in the budget for new routes for which Shannon Airport can apply. That is very good news as there has been much discussion about Shannon Airport in the House recently.

I also raise Facebook's policy. Facebook would not allow advertisements for a new book published on the monks at Glenstal Abbey. This was featured on RTÉ last night. A painting called "The Good Thief" by one of the monks showed a lot of skin, which Facebook said was against its policy. Many books are published and advertised widely online. The painting featured in The Irish Catholic. If it featured anything unwarranted, it would not have been published there. The late eminent art historian, Sister Wendy Beckett, published many famous books including Sister Wendy's 100 Masterpieces, which included many images on the front cover including Sandro Botticelli famous masterpiece, "The Birth of Venus". That book was published by a reputable house, DK Publishing. Would the latter have printed it if there was something wrong? Facebook needs to look at its advertising policy. We have many famous paintings of world renown which attract visitors from around the world. Facebook will not allow this book to be advertised because of the skin that they would not allow it to be advertised.
