Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I did some homework during the holidays and I wish to congratulate the Leader and the House because, of the 46 Bills signed into law during 2003, more than half — a total of 26 — originated in the Seanad. In that context, I remind the Government that work is being done in this House even without the proposed reforms and I urge it to use this House in the manner in which the Leader has managed to coax it to in the past year.
