Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

This House has a good record on dealing sensibly with matters regarding how a civil society should proceed. We do not all have to agree on every issue. It is sad that the Bill is to be voted down in this way at the last minute.

It reminds me of the way the Government side voted down my stage payments Bill, although the majority on that side agreed with it. The Minister promised a six months review. That period has elapsed. Will the Leader inquire about that from the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government with responsibility for housing?

On a separate issue, Killarney National Park is the foremost property of its kind in the State, if not the world.
