Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

There is huge interest in this Bill and we are delighted that the Minister has attended this House first, allowing us such an extensive debate — so much so that the debate will not end at 1 p.m. today. That might not dismay the Minister but perhaps his officials, who like to move things along. We understand that. They are shaking their heads, so they want further debate here too. That is good to hear. I must say to the Department's Secretary General, a fine, good-looking Kerryman, that he might well have his photograph anywhere because people would simply sit and admire, rather than plot damage to him.
