Order of Business.
Unlike Senator O'Toole, I deplore the absence of the Minister for Finance and his Minister of State who are in Cheltenham. Is it any wonder that people feel the Government is arrogant and contemptful towards them when one sees such a situation? I abhor the fact that the Minister and Minister of State, who piloted this legislation through the House earlier, will not be here to deal with it this week. Many of us like horse racing and we could be in Cheltenham, too, if we so wished.
