I move amendment No. 6: In page 26, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following: "(2) The Director shall require all service providers to provide statistical information in relation to all orders received, including, by the data category requested, the addressees, the situation (emergency case or not), grounds for refusal by category, by country of origin.".

Two weeks ago in this House, I stated that users of the website dogs.ie can be 99% sure that they are buying a puppy farm dog. I want to correct this previous statement. I clarify that there is only an alarmingly high probability they are buying a puppy farm dog. Dogs.ie is an American-based website that is central to the puppy farming we have in this country. It provides breeders and sellers an opaque online marketplace that allows them to easily turn a profit. Industrial-scale puppy farms clearly make huge profit…

Victims and survivors like those here in the Gallery believed the justice system would protect them, expected they would get justice and thought justice would help them to heal. If their personal notes go to their abusers, they will be retraumatised and they will not get the justice they need and deserve. The example of Paula is a concrete example of where handing over notes to an abuser damages everybody - the justice system and victims and survivors. Survivors are now debating whether they choose between counsell…

I want to acknowledge and congratulate Cricket Ireland. Over the weekend it had absolutely fantastic success, with three huge wins. It will be remembered in Irish cricketing history. The Irish men beat India and the Irish women had their first win in the T20 world cup. It is a fantastic achievement. The big three sports are well supported but it shows that it is important to support and invest in smaller sports like that, so I acknowledge Cricket Ireland’s success. I also want to acknowledge today is the first day …

I thank the Leader.

Before the Minister of State replies, I remind Senators to be conscious when naming minors that it may or may not have implications in the future.

I welcome Grace and Ciara from Mayo, who are the guests of Deputy Keira Keogh. I have no doubt Deputy Keogh is looking after them both. I also add my congratulations to Alison Field. It is a huge honour. I have no doubt she will represent Dublin with huge grace and determination. As the Cathaoirleach said, it is great to see her here.

The Minister of State, Deputy Buttimer is in next. Senator Murphy O'Mahony can fire away.

Before the Minister of State rises, I welcome Fr. Aquin Casey from Cobh and Sr. Carmel.

Aquinas, that is right. I apologise to Fr. Casey for butchering his name. Fr. Casey and Sr. Carmel are guests of Deputy Noel McCarthy. I also welcome the members of the Ballyvolane Community Association group and Ballyphehane Day Care Centre, who are guests of Deputy Ken O'Flynn and the Taoiseach, Deputy Micheál Martin. They are all very welcome. I hope that they have a nice day.

That is seeing as they are not playing football.

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Brophy. If Senator O'Loughlin is in agreement, we will take her Commencement matter in advance of that of Senator P. J. Murphy to allow the latter some time to prepare.

Is that agreed? Agreed. I thank the Senator for facilitating us.

I welcome the motion from the Government Senators and the recognition that energy affordability in Ireland is a complete disaster.

I am saying that. In effect, the Government Senators recognise there is so much more that can be done. It is hard not to be cynical when Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael put forward a motion in the Seanad on what the State should be doing, as though they were not the ones holding the reins of power in this State. The motion suggests that the CRU, a body that is responsible to a Fianna Fáil Minister, should try telling electricity companies to treat consumers slightly better, and otherwise give the Government a pat on the …

Direct employment.

We are not opposed to-----

That ringtone certainly had a Roy Keane vibe.

We now know that Kerry's secret to improving clubs' level of football skills is to get pubs into small villages.

Based on Dublin's performance, there are obviously many closing down.
