No, you yourself mentioned the embassies and the issue of Northern Ireland. I agree with you on that. I will be making a comment on that as well because we do not have an embassy in every country and I have a lot to say on that. The Taoiseach has said that the committee will report by February and he has put a time limit on it and given it to the Leader and to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. There is nobody in this House who does not want to see reform of the Seanad and I want that said loud and clear from the Fine Gael Party. This legislation is 35 years overdue and this is the only Government that has acted in ensuring that all universities will get the vote. We have had the first Stages of the Bill and the heads published.
