I want to bring to the attention of the House that this is Tusla National Fostering Week 2020. I implore any parents who may have a space in their home to consider fostering.

I raise the issue of the EU's flight travel policy that was voted on this week and that will be voted on by our Government on Tuesday. We are closed for business. We need a debate with the Minister with responsibility for tourism and the Minister for Transport, so they can tell us what they will do to reopen our economy. Foreign direct investment, FDI, is important to this country and we can see that executives and people involved in FDI cannot travel in and out of this country. We want our economies to be opened. We want our businesses to thrive. We will be totally alienated from all of Europe come Brexit. We do not want to be a pimple on the ass of Europe. It will sound like that, but really-----

Sorry, Senator-----

Sorry, I cannot use that word. I beg the Cathaoirleach's pardon.

I appreciate the Senator's use of the terminology but it is unparliamentary.

Please forgive me. We are taking up valuable time.

The Senator is grand. It is slightly unladylike.

Posterior is a better word.

We do not want to be a pimple on the posterior of Europe.

All I would say is that it is slightly unladylike.

Is the Cathaoirleach saying that I am unladylike?

To be clear, the phrase is slightly unladylike.

Thank you kindly.

The Senator is most definitely a lady.

Oh my goodness. I have run out of time.

No, no.

I apologise to the Cathaoirleach and the House for the word.

That is quite all right. The Cathaoirleach took absolutely no offence from the phrase. I would just point out that it is unparliamentary and slightly unladylike.

Is it ungentlemanlylike?

The phrase is slightly unladylike. I know that the Senator is too humble to mention her own great work in the area that she first brought up, which is fostering, and I thank her for raising it.
