In addition to the Government's input, Deputy John Bruton and Proinsias De Rossa, MEP, and their alternates, Deputy Pat Carey and Deputy Gormley, have brought forward many positive ideas. They have played active roles both in the Convention plenaries and in the working groups of which they are members. The active role played by these three Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas and one Member of the European Parliament has not been properly recognised. I am particularly conscious of the strain that has been placed on Deputies Carey and Gormley because, as backbench Deputies, they have duties at home which must inevitably suffer if they are serving the nation in another way. Their activity, energy and the amount of time they have devoted should be handsomely recognised.
