This Bill is an effort to bring honesty to this area and show respect to people. The costs relating to call-outs will massively exceed capped charges. The Government Deputies are only codding themselves because the people are not buying this. The legacy of the Minister, Deputy Kelly, will be a sad one. We will not speak of John F.K. but a sad Alan F.K. from Tipperary. I hope the Government will not oppose this Bill. I hope it will be debated, amended as necessary and discussed openly and fairly. Ná bí ag magadh. This is a serious issue and the Government should not pour cold water on the fire. It is a fire brigade reaction to an honest effort by me.
