Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I will draw Senator Quinn's point to the attention of the Minister. It was a point made by other Senators as well. I will also convey to the Minister the strong feeling I detected in the House that there is a need to bring forward comprehensive legislation in this area. I thank the Seanad for the substantial co-operation it extended in this matter despite understandable resistance to the process. Senators have been of considerable assistance to the Government.

Question put and agreed to.
