Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I regard this as a very important few hours' work and thank all those who contributed, as well as the Minister for being so forthright. The Acting Chairman was with us in London when the British Bill was piloted through the House of Commons by the Northern Ireland Secretary, Peter Hain. It is strange that they do not have their faces on the screen. We are very modern here, but there one sees only the writing and not Peter Hain. This is a great day's work, and congratulations are due all round. All these things are slotting into the overall picture, which one hopes will receive its final patina in March.
