Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

Apologies. I am aware Senators have undertaken a lot of research in this area. While we are dealing here with complex legislation, the chairman may only allow each Member the amount of time allocated in today's Order of Business.

Before calling the next speaker, I welcome Councillor John McCartan who is in the Visitors Gallery. Councillor McCartan is a colleague of mine from County Leitrim whose father Mr. Joe McCartan served this House with great distinction for many years, both as a Member and as Leas-Chathaoirleach. He also went on to become a Member of the Dáil and European Parliament.
