Brendan Ryan (Labour)

The country probably needs more of this sort of legislation. I am very glad we have dealt with this Bill because it arose from some unsavoury performances that did not do much for the image of Irish business. I welcome that it is the product of consensus. The Minister of State obviously consulted widely and established such consensus. I compliment him thereon. I know him a long time and, subject to the possibility of the Labour Party winning a seat in County Clare, I wish him well in the election.
