Paul Connaughton (Galway East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Taoiseach for his response. If we could have given him ten minutes to show the passion he has for this subject, he would have been able to fill that without difficulty. The public are now somewhat engaged in political reform, whether it concerns the Seanad or the Dáil. The sooner we act on as many of these matters as possible, the better. The Government is facing innumerable problems and there are issues we must also face down. While the general population is engaged on the issue of political reform, now is the time to act. We must do so as soon as possible.
