That is a very worthwhile point. In terms of the issue of more women in political life, Ms Nancy Pelosi raised this issue so powerfully during her address to the philosophical society in Trinity College yesterday. We will be having the Report and Final Stages of the Electoral (Amendment)(Political Funding) Bill tomorrow, which will provide a mechanism for many more women to get involved in politics in the future. I know Senator White has been hugely supportive of that Bill, and I thank her for that support.
