Brendan Ryan (Labour)

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. Tá súil agam go n-éireoidh go maith le gach éinne atá páirteach sa toghchán. Tá sprioc difriúil agamsa féin, b'fhéidir, agus atá ag an Aire, ach táimid go léir sa chóras chéanna. Má bhíonn an seans aige, ba chóir dó féachaint ar an milleán. Más rud é go mbeidh duine éigin ina dhiaidh, b'fhéidir, chaithfidh sé nó sí féachaint conas a bhfuilimid ag cur Achtanna tríd an Oireachtas, where as I said four Ministers are involved in the decision to provide a subsidised bus service between Cleggan and Ballinasloe. It makes no sense and we allow matters of that nature to go through this House on a regular basis, which are incoherent and senseless. I can be certain that probably no Minister will see that provision. It will pass around four fairly junior civil servants in four different Departments. It is a waste of paper and time and is bad public administration. However, the Bill is a good idea and is welcome. I hope the Minister's optimism about our seaweed industry is justified — as the fulfilment of the dream of a young chemical engineer of 35 years ago if we were to develop a good downstream industry based on such a widespread natural resource.
