Seán Ardagh (Dublin South Central, Fianna Fail)

It is all a question of citizenship, which we value. To show how we value it, we should encourage our citizens to engage and participate more in our democracy. We should encourage people to get involved in charitable causes and in the special reserve police force, if that comes into existence, to get involved in civil defence, to join the Army and the caring professions and to participate and engage fully in a democracy so that together all our citizens can have a better country in which to live. I commend the Bill to the House.
