Martin Conway (Fine Gael)

I am quite entitled to make my views known on such an important issue. I have every confidence that the Leader and the committee will make the correct decision in this regard.

I join others in commending the Leader on what he has done since taking up his position. He is innovative and, of course, a thorough gentleman. He listens to people and that is what politics is all about. It is a question of trying to bring people along with one, reflecting their views and ultimately ensuring this House is totally reflective of society, fosters debate and shows leadership in order to get the job done. I have every confidence that we will see systems in this House improving even more.
