Senator Bacik is correct. Fianna Fáil Senators are smiling wryly because our party has been fighting this issue for several years. The latter day conversion of Senator Mullen to the issue may have something to do with his tramping through the highways and byways of 15 rural counties. I am sure that has been a new experience for the Senator, coming as he does from the leafy suburbs of Dublin 4.
