Joe McHugh (Fine Gael)

I wish to be associated with Senator Brady's comments. While we are considering the big picture we also need to get the detail right. I welcome the Bill and thank the Minister's officials for all their endeavours.

To digress for a moment, will the Minister use his good offices and direct line to the born-again squeaky green Taoiseach who is going to Donegal tomorrow where he will perform several duties?
