I have no problem in coming back. I know why amendments are tabled in this manner. There are constraints on Senators that I found frustrating when I was a Member of this House. I have no problem at any time in coming back to the Seanad, if requested by Members, to debate any issue and keep the House informed on what has happened. It is the right of Senators as parliamentarians. We have launched the scheme but it is early days yet. There seem to be a number of inquiries and it seems to be successful. I know the Fine Gael Party mentioned this last Christmas.
