I raise the issue of the system that is broken. Lalini Veerassamy, chief of mission of the International Organisation for Migration in Ireland, said direct provision is not bad but she believes standards can be improved. Direct provision is what we have but it is not good enough. It is not right at all. It might be good enough as a first port but it cannot be a forever home. To read yesterday that there are still 700 people living in direct provision centres who are legally allowed -----

We had a debate on this yesterday.

I was at another meeting so I wanted to highlight this now on the Order of Business. I will be two seconds. We attend a lot of meetings. We are not giving enough support and we need to ensure there is a new community and new part of life.

I wish to raise something I read last week as I think it is important. A man named Denis Kelleher, who I am sure some Members will have heard of, died. He personified the Irish immigrant story. He was a poor shoemaker's son who emigrated to America in 1958 aged 18 years. He started at the bottom of the ladder of a financial firm and worked so hard every day of his life that he rose to greatness and opened his own Wall Street firm. He landed in America with less than $50 and every day he worked he put away money to support his newly-widowed mother home in Ireland. He was a boy who went to school in Killarney and used his great earnings to educate poor Catholic school children through the inner-city scholarship fund in the New York archdiocese. It is a really good story. We need to look at the bigger picture. I tried to get up to speak on it yesterday but I did not.

The Senator is quite right about Denis Kelleher. He helped found Radio Kerry with me.

That is right, he did too, but the Leas-Chathaoirleach did not even address this in the House. I have a lot more to say.

He had to leave Killarney to become a millionaire. The Leas-Chathaoirleach was fortunate.

He is a very famous son of the kingdom.

Has he a vote in the Seanad elections?

That is the end of that for the moment. I call on the Deputy Leader to respond.
