Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.
There is general acceptance that the Bill is a very positive step forward. It will allow the Houses to perform much more efficiently and it will give parliamentarians much more of a say. I do not see a conflict in the close working relationship between parliamentarians and their staff, but there will be opportunities to raise it again if it continues to be an issue. I thank the House for the kind welcome it has given me and for the contributions of Senators.
