Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I commend the Bill to the House. We must budget. I am glad to see that the expenditure is significantly less than the previous budget for the three years prior to the legislation. I also take on board the efficiencies pointed out by the Minister of State and the need for more management skills within the Houses of the Oireachtas which will be addressed in the coming years. As Senator Byrne has said, this is a technical Bill to provide the finances for the running of the Houses of the Oireachtas. I support the legislation and commend it to the House.
