Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I second the amendment. To a large extent, I remind the Minister of State that the work which is carried out by both Houses of the Oireachtas is not always recognised outside. Senator Paddy Burke has referred to the National Roads Authority and other cases. One of our objectives is to ensure that the work of the Oireachtas is recognised. This amendment would not establish a precedent. I support it and believe it would be useful. The Minister of State should reconsider his decision not to accept it.
