Joe O'Toole (Independent)

I will conclude with one negative comment. The Minister introduced e-Government to the Cabinet table and various attempts are being made in that respect in the Dáil. We had a fine debate here. In my subjective and biased view, it was a finer debate than that in the other House. What we passed here tonight now has to be sent physically to the far end of town, somebody has to do something with it and it has to be printed off and brought back here. It is a matter of using just a screen to track changes which should be done contemporaneously. We have four huge printing presses across the road. It is appalling that this is happening. It looks bad. It is not proper management. This work should be done in-house and contemporaneously. We should be able to see here on our screens the first version of the Bill, the changes — let us say, in red — that were tracked in the Dáil, the amendments — in blue — tabled in the Seanad, the amendments — in green — passed in the Seanad and the final version of the Bill.
