Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Minister of State to the Chamber. While I wish to speak on the Bill, I will deviate to reply to Senator Finucane. When I was a member of South Dublin County Council, I did not have any of those difficulties and I still have no such difficulties with equality of service or a pre-consultation process whenever I need to raise an issue with the council. That council also covers a rural area and the guidelines are working very well.
