I have emphasised the fact that the staff will not be represented on the commission, but Oireachtas staff cannot be treated in the same way as those in other Government Departments. The point has been made that local arrangements should not apply, but sometimes the House has sat until 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. and the staff in the Clerk's Office have been present to advise us. At times when Bills have moved from Committee Stage to Report Stage at 10 p.m., the staff have been able to produce the amendments within 15 minutes and supply everybody with copies. We should realise the work these people are doing, which is not the same as in other Departments. The expertise, goodwill and support for Members by the Oireachtas staff is unparalleled. The staff are always there when they are required and that fact has to be recognised through local arrangements, if that is what it takes. I also support the comments that have been made concerning the staff of the Oireachtas Library.
