Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

Could the Leader of the House give some consideration to the proposals, suggestions and speculation that a major reconfiguration of Departments is about to take place? This House could have a good input and advise and make recommendations to the Government. There is much experience in this House as far as the configuration of Departments is concerned. For instance, I hope that the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht affairs will be retained but one could add culture to that because it is an additional part of rural life.
