Along with some of the Minister's colleagues, I will be speaking at a public meeting on Monday night.

I hope the Minister, Deputy Bruton, turns up. I will be there representing the people of Howth on the issue. It is very important that we deal with these matters.

I welcome the debate on the Bill. However, I will be voting against it as it is not about real reform, democracy, accountability or, above all, the best interests of Irish citizens. It is certainly not about the most disadvantaged in society.
