My point is that the Government does not take the Dáil seriously on issues of this sort. It is a pity it does not because this Bill contains good ideas and constructive suggestions. They should at least be given the courtesy of being paid a certain amount of attention. It is a pity the Minister of State has been on her own for this period. I hope it will not continue.
