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

As Deputy Curran mentioned Tallaght and South Dublin County Council, I have hardly anything left to say. I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on this Bill and I welcome the attendance of the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Batt O'Keeffe. I could easily digress, as did other Members last night, and talk about everything but the Bill.
