The message that goes out from the House at all times is what prevails and what happens in the House. The public outside gets the message. I have to bring to the Deputy's attention that it is all very fine to blame Government or Opposition in the course of debates but the purpose of this discussion is not to blame Government or Opposition - either one; the purpose is to address the content of the Bills. There are three important Bills.

I am sorry. The Deputy may think that is funny but it is not. He knows that from his constituency work. Can we deal with the important Bills before the House? They have been spoken about by several Members and the Deputy very graciously was available to speak in the House on the Bill.
