Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

-----is insult the electorate. By the way, I do not believe it is in the best interests of democracy that any political party should spend more than perhaps two terms in office. There are term limits in America which I am not sure could be applied here but I have no difficulty with the concept. It is right and proper. Indeed, I am the first to acknowledge, as many Members on this side of the House have done, that we have given this Government a fair wind. The input of creativity and new, fresh thinking is refreshing. The latter years of the last Administration was bereft of fresh thinking and creativity. I am pleased it has been injected into the body politic because, ultimately, all of us, irrespective of political affiliation, want the best for the country and the people who put us here.

To return to the amendment, I look forward to the Minister's response to some of our suggestions and the overall approach being taken to ensuring the integrity of the register of electors.
