When I have finished speaking it will be withdrawn. I take on board the very constructive suggestion of Senator Darragh O'Brien. We will have a battle when it comes to the pension scheme. We might even have the numbers to do it, and there might be a sense of justice across the floor among some people. I think of the Taoiseach's nominees, the Independents and the Labour Party, whose members purport to speak for the working man and woman in this country. I will leave it at that. We will call their bluff on the pension scheme. I do not wish to be obstructive to this otherwise splendid Bill but this is a dreadful blemish on the face of that Bill.
