Joe O'Toole (Independent)

If there is a reversal when a change of Government comes about, it will be the first occasion on which something of that nature will have happened. It will be a great thing to see.

This is poor legislation in the main, although it has good points. It gives a bad impression of politics and feeds the cynics. I hope the Minister gives it some thought and that, when he returns with it to the Seanad, it will be improved so that I will be in a position to support it, which I would like to do. I thank the Minister for giving his time to deal with what has been a superb debate. It is a pity the legislation does not match it.
