Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach, Deputy Treacy, to the House. He is well aware that we have many Ministers of State and that the numbers tend to grow each year. Some Ministers of State have responsibility for such areas as the OPW and Dublin traffic, all of which are neat, well-defined areas. Deputy Treacy seems to have responsibility for delivering the Lisbon Agenda.
