I am conscious that Senator Conway-Walsh, Senator O'Donnell and myself must attend the debate on the Finance Bill at 1.30 p.m. but we will try to continue this discussion for as long as possible, despite the fact that we have been here all morning. It is a very important topic and we want to give it as much of a hearing as possible but I ask contributors to ask questions rather than make statements. I call Senator Paddy Burke.
