The new apartments do not have such management companies, but the older blocks did and some of them still operate. It is a good point because one knows that the money is being spent on tending the grass, cleaning and painting, etc.

Senator Kitt asked that the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs be invited to the House to discuss the new placenames regulations. Senator Ulick Burke raised that issue also and asked for the matter to be clarified in respect of the Gaeltacht areas. He said the Minister had a lesson to learn in that regard. Senator Burke also mentioned a particular magnate and a headline about a particular election.

Senator Feighan raised the tax exiles issue also. He also mentioned the Good Friday Agreement and cross-party and cross-Border co-operation. I agree that the disgraceful behaviour of fans at the match about which he spoke might be considered a breach of the Good Friday Agreement and that meetings should be held with the FAI to address that issue.

On yesterday's Order of Business I referred to the Disability Bill. It is hoped the Bill will be introduced to the House on Tuesday evening. I wish to inform Senators also that it is intended to have a full debate on aviation next Tuesday afternoon.
