He is very committed to the Anglican Church which I think is committed to these issues also.

On a serious note, this is an important Bill which I hope will be adopted. Respectfully, there are so many Private Members' Bills going through the House. There are approximately 25 or 26 and it is not just happening in this House but also in the other House. Whether the Government lasts a long or a short time, most of these Bills will not see the light of day and that is being positive about it. I have a Registration of Wills Bill and know what it is like. I would be delighted, therefore, if the Minister brought forward this Bill now that I have decided to be on the side of those proposing it. I found Senator Billy Lawless to be very persuasive. He has given great leadership in this matter. I would not have proposed the Bill because I would have been seen to have had a vested interest. Senator Billy Lawless has no vested interest in Ireland at this stage. He is doing it from the point of view of Ireland, Inc. and I say, "Well done," to him. I congratulate him and he has my full support. The House should be unanimous in putting the Bill through.
