Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Let me refer to two promised Bills. In view of the concerns expressed by some members of the Government, would it be possible to rush the broadcasting authority Bill into the House so we could all discuss the issue in question as soon as possible? In view of the Government's litany of overspending and miscalculations, would it not be timely to mark its progress to date by introducing the national monuments Bill? It would allow us to mark the occasion suitably as a milestone to inefficiency, incompetence and bungling.
