Brendan Ryan (Labour)

I wish the record of the House to show the fact that my colleague, Senator Tuffy, persistently pressed me to give the Labour Party Private Members' time to this issue. She felt very strongly about it and whatever her future career — I hope she is elected to the Dáil — she will have made a significant mark on the way Seanad Éireann does its business. I want to put Senator Tuffy's name forward and give her the credit for something which means there is significant change in the way the House does its business. Everybody did a good deal of work later but she deserves the credit for the time, effort and space she contributed in getting this on to the agenda in the first place.
