Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

I was delighted to give some leeway to my good friend and colleague, Deputy Mulcahy, who represents the Crumlin area, where I am originally from. I am happy to co-operate with the Deputy. I am delighted to make a brief contribution to the debate on this legislation. I acknowledge the presence of the Minister of State, Deputy Seán Power, whose work I admire, and I wish him well. I was delighted when he was promoted, not least because it meant I got a bigger and nicer office, which I am looking after well. I am delighted with the progress that has been made by the Minister of State since his well-deserved promotion.
