Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
3:00 pm
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
The Minister of State said the Government could not afford to make places available. He also referred to Michael Smurfit but I do not know whether he would avail of State support on this issue, although I could design a structure which would prevent him from doing so if the Minister of State let me at it. He need not worry about it. I would exclude Tony O'Reilly and JP McManus through residency rules and so on. In other words, I would be practical.
