Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I support these amendments. We are certainly not going to do anything from preventing the Bill from going through and we fully support the amendments. The Bill has been given a very interesting hearing in both Houses of the Oireachtas. We have been circulated with a list of the Acts mentioned in both Houses of the Oireachtas at all Stages. The first one on the list is the Fairs Act 1204. I note that fairs in Donnybrook, Drogheda, Waterford and Limerick are referred to. In Waterford they were held on the historic hill of Ballybrickin, where I am from. I recall the fair days when I was going to school, which was not too long ago, and I fully support the amendments.
