Order of Business.

On the Corrib gas field, the Government spent €1 million just to watch a peaceful protest. What is the sense of that? I would like legislation to deal with this matter. The Minister has been interfering with the mediation process and has totally redefined what mediation is about. The Rossport five have pulled out of mediation because what the Minister proposes is completely different. He has interfered with the process and utterly screwed up the situation. He must answer on that.
Regarding traceability, legislation was introduced when extended hours were introduced for pubs in 2000. Section 17 provided that anyone who provides alcohol should have a barcode or some code of origin on it. Why has that not happened?
