James Bannon (Fine Gael)

I join Senator Brady in thanking the Minister for coming to the House to take the Bill. He promised on 17 November that he would bring the legislation to the House before Christmas and was true to his word. Since becoming Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche has been sending out reasonably good vibes which we await to be translated into action in terms of introducing legislation for the betterment of our country.
