I welcome the Minister to the House. Once again the Government, which so despises the Seanad, is using it to introduce legislation and I am glad the Minister is doing so. He has often done so. This year the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Richard Bruton, introduced all of his Bills in the Seanad rather than the Dáil in the first instance.
