Yes, I am asking the Leader to draw this matter to the attention of the Government and to the people. This is what the Government means by democracy. Its members talk about democracy all the time, while walking roughshod over the clearly expressed wishes of the people. Members should put that in the context of the Seanad abolition Bill. I thought it was a worthwhile eight hours of debate and I hope there will be more. There should be no diminution of this debate-----
