Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I am not abusing the Order of Business. I am sorry but I must insist on this. For too long in this House we have been subject to this contempt from Ministers and the Government on a daily basis. Some of them do not come into the House. I have received a reply to a parliamentary question suggesting I should write to the Minister. All he has to do is read the newspaper, it has all the information he requires. Is it intended to put into effect the legislation passed by this House? Will the bail (amendment) Bill have the impact we have not yet seen?
