Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

It is a shame that we are teasing out very important legislation but people want to abolish the Seanad. What better place is there than in here? We have had a fantastic afternoon discussing various points and I am delighted that Senator Quinn has brought us through this topic, on which we have had many discussions. I have reflected these views to contractors and subcontractors and they are waiting to see where we will go from here. I am not giving up on this issue and want to see it come to fruition.

Senator Coghlan will be in a major position to take this on board. It will be his Government that will deal with it and we will rely on the Senator to ensure we get a speedy solution in the Lower House where all contractors will be relieved of their problems.
