Shane McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

As someone who learned the hard way, I can see that the Senator seems to know what he is talking about. Putting pen to paper is often a help. A Minister sometimes needs guidance. I, therefore, propose that the Senator put pen to paper and make, say, six points on how the criteria could be met. This does work. Lobbying in a constructive manner cannot be beaten. The Senator should, therefore, put pen to paper and explain what is going wrong. We are all dealing with the same problem, day in and day out. Changes are slow in coming and appeals take a long time. The Minister needs people like the Senator who knows the system inside out to explain what changes are needed. The Senator should consider doing what I have suggested.
