I will try to show the Cathaoirleach a bit of respect. I ask the Leader for a debate on political reform, which is important here. I note there is a number of very unrepresentative debates in this House and, indeed, in the other House, and that political lobbying is what is running riot. We need to be very careful. There are rules in relation to referenda in terms of the funding for political lobbyists, but in the case of normal Bills that are passing through this House there also needs to be rules because quite often debates are extremely unrepresentative in their importance.
