Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

Perhaps I would be very happy to accept such an award if it entitled me to work in this area. I do not think it would bestow such benefits on me, however. I will speak to the representatives of the society. I have been informed that a major amendment would be required. If that is the case, we might not be able to include a provision of this nature. I will return to the matter on Report Stage.
