John Moloney (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I have met the group and intend to meet it again in the next few weeks. I have taken the request on board. At this point, I cannot say I can deliver the Deputy's request but I accept that because the register is voluntary, people are disinclined to use it, which sends us a message. If we are to give the register some value, I would hope to be able accede to the request in the near future. However, I want to meet the group before I give that commitment.
