Once again I stand in admiration of Senator O'Toole who takes on the thorny issue of Members' expenses. I speak from a qualified position on this matter as I came second in the expenses charts behind our esteemed Cathaoirleach. This was primarily due to my being a member of the Council of Europe for the past two years, involving much travel. As Senator O'Toole correctly identified, I saw little of that money. I will reluctantly have to step aside because I am no longer a member of the Council of Europe.
