I concur with Senator Devine on Cuisle. It is very important that the authorities consult the service users. I have already been outside and there are two people there with a big banner already. I am going out again to join them for a few minutes. The service users should be asked what they think.

Tomorrow will be the third Thursday on which Seanad Éireann has not met.

Hear, hear.

Last week, on what should have been a sitting day, the Seanad Chamber was given over to some group, which I have no doubt was very worthy.

It was very important.

I am sure it was. We should be very careful about guarding this place, which is so important for all of us. There is not a huge amount of serious business being done in Seanad Éireann at the moment.

That is not correct.

We are going to face an enormous rush of legislation coming up to Christmas. Before I provoke a storm of abuse from the Leader, I should say that I am not attacking Fine Gael or the Government, as this has happened during the entire 32 years of my membership of this House. Every year, there is a dearth and then suddenly everything comes in at the last minute and is hurried and rushed through before Christmas. We should sit down and try to order legislative business in a more logical, orderly fashion.

I agree.

I am sure the Leader agrees and we will look to him to see if something can be sorted out.

Senator Norris will be busy over the next weeks. He should not worry.

That is exactly what I am protesting about. The Leader has put his finger on what is wrong. There is nothing happening. This suggests the irrelevance of the Seanad. Thank God the former Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, had his brainstorm and tried to abolish the Seanad and we managed to save it. Nowadays, with what is going on here, that would be a hard-fought battle. I look to the Leader to make representations.
