Tom Hayes (Tipperary South, Fine Gael)

No. It is good that we have been given the chance to discuss this tonight. I commend Fianna Fáil Deputies and admire the way they sit over there without cheer-leading and acting the clown like those fellows are doing in the corner. I am grateful for the opportunity to speak. I implore the Minister to take back to the Department that proposal to change the enrolment date, which would be a huge improvement on where we are.
