Cyprian Brady (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government for coming to the House to introduce this important Bill and I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Education and Science who has replaced him. Simplistic solutions have been proposed to address the electoral register issue with the previous contribution being the most simplistic. If it were that easy, it would have been addressed a long time ago. I congratulate the current Minister for having the guts to take on this difficult issue.
