-----by a Minister who was concentrating on something else other than what he should have been concentrating on, and he was told that in this House. It will have to be addressed. By allowing this Bill to be debated further there will hopefully be some suggestions which come forward which would be taken on board.

I will conclude. I respect the Minister of State, but I think the line Ministers from the Department of Finance or from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government should be in the House if only to show an interest in the topic being debated.
