Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

When I hear the Minister of State speaking about this on the television or the radio, I will label it as plagiarism. It is termed as plain English legislation. Ms Harman introduced the idea three months ago and it is now in force. I realise the issue has nothing to do with this Bill.

I wish the Bill well. The idea of bringing these partnerships together is good. Each individual body carries out excellent work. It coincides with the partnership agreement which is hopefully nearly finalised. There is a bit more work to be done on it. We will debate it here later this afternoon. It is a good omen. I thank the Minister of State for his ever pleasant presence in this House.
