Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

Will the Leader arrange, as soon as possible, for Committee Stage of the Maritime Safety Bill 2004 to be taken? We completed Second Stage in this House on 13 June. Coming from a lake county, as she does, the Leader is well aware that there are major problems on our lakes with the indiscriminate, irrational and dangerous use of jet skis and ski boats. I strongly support the call for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to come into the House.

I have discovered a practice in restaurants, which is not covered by regulation, as I have checked, whereby itemised bills are not available and where an extra 10% or 12% is charged to parties of six people or more. I always understood that one paid less on buying more in a shop, for example, but apparently not in restaurants. One actually pays more. It is one of the new Irish jokes and it is time it was regulated and dealt with effectively.
