Yes, I think there is. I think I am correct in saying that since the Dáil was elected approximately five Private Members' Bills have become law, ranging from Deputy Tony McLoughlin's Bill which bans fracking and the legislation which recognises Irish Sign Language to legislation which deals with more mundane matters. It will now be legal as a result of a Private Members' Bill to buy a drink in a pub on Good Friday. Five is a lot more than the number of Bills passed in previous Dáileanna, but it is still not a lot. I would like to see more.
