I will be glad to do so. This House can be useful for the purpose of introducing Private Members' Bills. I encourage those who may have difficulties with how this House is run to gather their thoughts and put forward ideas for legislation to be introduced here. It is a great opportunity for Senators to introduce legislation via Private Members' Bills.

I hope I will get the support of both sides of the House for the Registration of Wills Bill 2011. I am anxious that new Members would have an opportunity to study the Bill. I would like to brief them on the measure and hope they will also have an opportunity to table amendments to it. I would be glad to consider such amendments, and accept them, with the agreement of the House. I thank you, a Chathaoirligh, for giving me the time to announce this matter today.
