On a point of order, I want to give Senator Coffey an opportunity to correct his statement to the House where he accused a majority of Senators of being parish-pump politicians. In fairness, I do not think the Senator meant it in that manner but it came out that way. This is in the context of our new politics and respect for Cabinet confidentiality where we have the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross's office ringing around councillors telling them of the new unannounced boundaries, which I find disappointing.
