Mary O'Rourke (Longford-Westmeath, Fianna Fail)

Without realising it, we have brought about a change in Dáil procedures. We talk about innovation, but we are being innovative in what we are doing now. Members have travelled here from where they live, having observed the conditions in their home areas. They will speak in the Chamber for two or three minutes and telling it as it is. That is a remarkable change. I travelled up to the House today and, therefore, I do not know how this has come about.
