I also welcome our newest Seandadóir, Nikki Bradley, to the House and congratulate her on her appointment. We wish her well. This is a very collegial House and we all work in harmony together, so I am sure she will fit in and get the run of it quite quickly.

Today, I would like to raise the issue of the moratorium on data centres. This is a very Irish solution to an Irish problem. We have been so proud of, and our economy has excelled owing to, our IT and pharmaceutical sectors. The whole world looks to us because of all the large companies that have European bases here, from Meta and Intel to Apple. I am referring to all the big connections we have. We cannot refer to these and then say we just do not want to store the data because we cannot produce enough power. There is merit to this sentiment but we have to fix the problem. We have to think of better ways. I read an article last week on how data centre power can be generated. This comes back to our planning Bill. There is a hell of a lot in that Bill on offshore energy and other means of generation that we have to proceed with. It is quite apt that the Bill is being discussed today. I am speaking on the back of this. Could the Leader liaise with our Cathaoirleach on this matter? It is an ideal time for us to have a debate on data centres. Since there is to be a moratorium on data centres until at least 2028, I would appreciate it if we could have a debate in the House on them.

It was a fantastic weekend. Gaillimh abú. It was a thrilling performance and a fantastic win for Galway. It was a little more difficult on the Donegal side of things, but I know Donegal will be back again. The players gave everything and we really cannot wait for the all-Ireland final.

There is huge demand for the regional bus network. I call for a review of Bus Éireann's No. 20 Expressway service that ran from Galway to Dublin. It was removed a couple of years ago. However, there is a great need for everyone in society, but particularly older people and students, to have a way to get to hospital and college. Commuters need it to get to work. Aircoach removed its commuter service. I have spoken here many times about the need for additional transport services for people to get to their appointments in hospital, to college or to work. We need a service on the old Dublin–Galway road to connect our towns. There is a huge demand. I ask that we have the Minister for Transport here to speak about this. Commercial providers are pulling out of the route. It is important that we have the service connecting our towns. It will connect every town between Dublin and Galway. I see myself the huge demand for a service for Athlone, which does not have a service from the bus station in Athlone to the hospital in Ballinasloe.

Finally, I welcome our new Fine Gael Senator, Nikki Bradley, an advocate for people of all abilities, representative of rural areas and a proud Donegal woman whom I know well. Along with the leader, who is from Mayo, we are increasing our representation of the west and north west today. I hope the Cathaoirleach will help us to work over the summer months to address accessibility issues in this House that I have raised previously. I have raised the issue of a ramp and the fact that there is a lift in the House that is currently not working. I brought members of an accessibility group in Roscommon, along with representatives of Roscommon LEADER Partnership, to Leinster House recently and they were challenged because services were not available that they could use. Simple things like installing ramps and fixing the lift can be done over the summer months.
